Clutch and Gear
1. Inspect the outside tooth surfaces of the pinion
gear, idler gear and clutch for damage and
wear. If they are damaged, replace the gear or
clutch assembly. If any damage is discovered,
also check the flywheel ring gear on the engine
for damage.
2. Check the clutch pinion gear by securing the
starter clutch and turning the pinion gear
clockwise (Figure 10-20, (1)) to check if it turns
smoothly. Turn the pinion gear
counterclockwise (Figure 10-20, (2)) to ensure
that it is locked. If needed, replace the clutch
assembly.
