A high-quality starter pinion gear (Bendix drive) with an overrunning clutch mechanism. It is a key component of the starter motor, responsible for precisely engaging the flywheel ring gear to start the engine and then immediately disengaging the drive after it starts, protecting the starter from damage.
Aftermarket quality product – an intelligent choice combining excellent quality with an attractive price.
