Starter Clutch Operational Test

1. Set the flywheel on the bench so the starter
clutch faces up as shown in Figure 36.
2. Hold the flywheel and turn the starter wheel gear
clockwise. The wheel gear should turn freely within
the starter clutch.
3. Hold the flywheel and try to turn the starter
wheel gear counterclockwise. It should not turn in
this direction.
NOTE
The one way clutch and one way
clutch housing are not available sepa
rately. If either part is worn or dam
aged, replace the starter clutch
assembly.
4. The one-way clutch is faulty if it fails either test.
Replace the starter clutch assembly.

Starter Clutch Disassembly/Assembly

Refer to Figure 28.
1. Remove the flywheel and remove the timing
gear as described in this section.
2. Remove the snap ring (Figure 43) and washer
(Figure 44).
3. Remove the bearing (A, Figure 45), then re-
move the starter wheel gear (B).
4. If necessary, remove the starter clutch bolts (A,
Figure 46) and lift the starter clutch assembly (B)
from the back of the flywheel.
5. Installation is the reverse of removal. Note the
following:
a. Apply a medium-strength threadlocking
compound to the threads of each starter clutch
bolt and install the bolts.
b. Hold the rotor with the sheave holder and
torque the starter clutch bolts to 12 N•m (106
in.-lb.).
6. Install the starter wheel gear into the starter
clutch as follows:
a. Set the rotor assembly face down on the
bench.
b. Set the bearing surface of the starter wheel
gear between rollers (C, Figure 46) in the
one-way clutch.
c. Press the starter wheel gear down while
rotating it clockwise. Gently press the gear
until it bottoms within the one-way clutch.

Starter Clutch Inspection

1. Inspect the teeth of the starter idler gears (A,
Figure 47). Replace a gear if any teeth are worn,
broken or missing.
2. Inspect the idler gear shaft and the bearing sur-
face (B, Figure 47) of the starter idler gear assem-
bly for nicks or other signs of damage. Replace the
idler gear shaft or starter gear assembly if worn or
damaged.
