Starter Drive/Bendix: Testing and Inspection

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH

1. While holding the clutch housing, rotate the pinion. The drive pinion should rotate smoothly in one direction, but should not rotate in the opposite direction. If the clutch does not function properly, replace the overrun clutch assembly.




2. Inspect the pinion for wear or burrs. If the pinion is worn or burred, replace the overrun clutch assembly. If the pinion is damaged, also inspect the ring gear for wear or burrs.
