A "Bendix drive" is the term used to describe the part of the starter motor which engages an disengages from the flywheel when cranking the engine, therefore it is part of the starter motor assembly and would be located behind the starter motor, between it and the flywheel housing.


If the motor turns but car does not turn on could it be the fly wheel?

Where is starter on Plymouth fury?

The location of a starter on a Plymouth Fury will depend on the year. Most older Plymouth Furys have the starter located just under the driver's side of the motor where the transmission is bolted to the motor. The starter must engage the flywheel and the flywheel is located in the large bell shape of the transmission.


What is the purpose of the overrunning clutch in a starter?

With the flywheel spinning at about 1,000 RPM at idle, the starter, if engaged with the flywheel, would be forced to spin between 15,000 and 20,000 RPM. Once the engine has turned over and is running, the overrun clutch will release the starter from the flywheel and prevent the gears from re-meshing (as in an accidental turning of the ignition key) while the engine is running


Why is there a racing noise coming from starer on Chevy pick up and it won't start?

The starter bendix is not mating with the ring gear on the flywheel. The soleonoid on the starter motor may be faulty or the teeth of the flywheel or the bendix may have stripped. A bench test of the starter motor would be advised.
