ungeased-dry-worn "Bendix" assembly /within, and part-of the complete

starter assembly/. non-repairable, but once taken out, may be 'saved' by

judiciously applying a heavy grease to areas that spin-slide-rub against,

including the metal round bushing that the gear slams-against at the end

of it's travel. On the bench, you can hot-wire it to see action/hear action.

if still noisy, it may be bushing in the back-cover, that may need a tiny dab

of grease. other-wise, get a 'rebuilt' with a warrantee.
