In the old days you could by parts and rebuild a starter yourself on the bench. Many of today's starters are built not to come apart easily and parts are more costly than just buying a starter already rebuilt.
The 1998 Ford Escort starter motor is located on the rear of the engine. The starter motor will be on the right hand side, near the bottom of the motor.
The starter motor is located between the transmission and the engine which engages the starter clutch with the flywheel, which rotates and starts the engine.

A car starter is an electric motor that is used to turn the engine over in order to get it started.
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

No, the starter motor is normally on the outside of an engine connected by a belt.
Battery down, starter motor, engine seizure. If you roll it in gear down a hill and let the clutch out does the engine turn over = not seized. Does it start = battery has charge but not sufficient to turn starter. Either battery shot (try restarting after a run) or starter needs overhaul/replacement. My First thought is starter motor brushes or starter relay. Actually, if your battery is not the problem you could simply need to replace the starter relay.
The starter motor is situated towards the back of the engine if your facing it.
Er... a Starter Motor?
A one-way clutch on a starter motor, often referred to as a starter drive or overrunning clutch, allows the starter motor to engage the engine's flywheel to start the engine but prevents the motor from being driven by the engine once it starts. This mechanism ensures that when the engine is running, the starter motor does not experience damage from back-driven forces. It typically consists of rollers or pawls that engage in one direction and disengage when the direction reverses. This design is crucial for protecting the starter motor and ensuring efficient engine operation.

A starter clutch, also known as a one-way clutch or sprag clutch, allows the engine to start by engaging the starter motor while preventing the engine from driving the starter. When the starter motor turns, the clutch engages, allowing the engine to crank. Once the engine starts and exceeds a certain speed, the clutch disengages, preventing the starter from being driven by the engine's rotation, which protects the starter motor from damage. This mechanism is crucial for ensuring smooth engine starts and preventing backflow of energy to the starter system.
