The over run clutch on a pre-engaged starter motor is there to prevent
the flywheel ring gear spinning the stater motor at such a high speed that it is destroyed
If the starter is engaging as you say, then either the starter pinion,
flywheel ring gear or both are excessively worn.
Not exact matches
Low battery voltage under load (cranking) will produce enough amperage to energise the starter solenoid and pull in the pinion to mesh with the
flywheel (or flexplate
ring gear).
You should not have to replace the
ring gear on the
flywheel.
If the starter is the correct one and is fitted correctly then it sounds as if there are flats on the
ring gear, this is a circular
gear that is fitted to the
flywheel.
You would need to pull the whole transmission and
flywheel just to get the
ring gear off.
