## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.277 kg
-   39 applications across D and TAMD engines
-   Starter drive pinion

## 🔌 Function

Engages the flywheel ring gear when the starter is energised and transmits the motor's torque to turn the engine over, freewheeling as soon as the engine fires.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Whirring from the starter with the engine not turning
-   Grinding or a harsh clash on engagement
-   Teeth visibly chipped, hooked or worn to a point
-   Pinion not returning cleanly after a start
-   Repeated damage to the flywheel ring gear teeth

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Three starter pinions sit in this range — this 0.277 kg part for 39 D and TAMD applications, 3830008 at 0.14 kg for ST400CO1R77, and 3830009 at 0.197 kg for TMD and TAMD engines — so identify by the starter you have and by part number
-   Always inspect the flywheel ring gear when a pinion has failed; fitting a new pinion to a chewed ring gear destroys it again
-   Renew return spring 3830017 and seal 3830025 while the starter drive is stripped
