24. Remove the plunger with the boot and the shift le-
ver assembly. Test the solenoid windings, if not
done in Step 11.
Important : The pinion clearance must be correct to pre-
vent the buttons on the shift lever yoke from rubbing on the
clutch collar during the cranking.
25. When the starter motor is disassembled and the
solenoid is replaced, it is necessary to check the
pinion clearance.
26. Disconnect the motor field coil connector from the
solenoid motor terminal and carefully insulate the
connector.
27. Connect one 12–volt battery lead to the solenoid
switch terminal and the other to the starter frame.
28. Flash a jumper lead momentarily from the solenoid
motor terminal to the starter frame, allowing shifting
of the pinion in the cranking position, where it will
remain until the battery is disconnected.
Important : A means for adjusting the pinion clearance is
not provided on the starter motor. If the clearance does not
fall within the limits, check for improper installation and re-
place all worn parts.
29. Push the pinion back as far as possible to take up
any movement, and check the clearance with a
feeler gauge. The clearance should be 0.25 to 3.56
mm (0.01 to 0.14 inch).
Assembly Procedure
1. Install the drive and the pinion stop on the drive-
shaft.
