Standard Motor Products Starter Drive Bendix

The Standard Motor Products Starter Drive Bendix (also called a starter drive, starter bendix or starter pinion drive) is a replacement part for the starter motor. When you turn the key or press the start button, the drive engages the starter pinion gear with the engine flywheel or flexplate to crank the engine. After the engine starts, it disengages so the starter doesn't over-speed.

Key Features:

• Replaces the worn or failed starter drive assembly, which can restore reliable starting without replacing the whole starter in many applications
• Built around an overrunning clutch that transmits torque to the flywheel during cranking and then freewheels once the engine fires
• Made to match the form, fit and function of the original equipment part
• Supplied by Standard Motor Products, a long-established name in engine management and electrical components

Common signs of a failing starter drive:

• A whirring or spinning sound when you start the engine, with no engine cranking
• Grinding noises during start-up
• Intermittent starting problems
