Overrunning Clutch Inspection
-
Slide the overrunning clutch (A) along the shaft.
Replace it, if it does not slide smoothly.
-
Hold the drive gear (B), and turn the overrunning clutch in the direction shown to make sure it turns freely. Also make sure the overrunning clutch locks in the opposite direction. If it does not lock in either direction or it locks in both directions, replace it.
-
If the starter drive gear is worn or damaged, replace the overrunning clutch assembly; the gear is not available separately. Check the condition of the flywheel or torque converter ring gear. Replace it if the starter drive gear teeth are damaged
-
Install the armature in the housing, and install the brush holder, then install the each brush in the holder.
NOTE: To seat new brushes, slip a strip of #500 or #600 sandpaper, with the grit side up, between the commutator and each brush, and smoothly rotate the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be sanded to the same contour as the commutator.
