Mountaineerfan 44 Report post Posted July 5, 2022 Recently my starter exploded the bendix, and I put a new one in. I pulled some pieces of metal from the inspection plate, and thought I had it all. Started it yesterday and heard the metal again. Opened the plate and found these two guys. Are they part of the old starter? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Conway 264 Report post Posted July 5, 2022 Hard to tell size? Could be balancing plugs used in the pressure plate? Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted July 5, 2022 To me they look like alignment dowels between the rear block and tranny. What size do they measure? 1 fvike reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountaineerfan 44 Report post Posted July 5, 2022 Someone told me they are rollers left over from the old starter’s one way clutch. I’ve pulled four out, and drove with the plate off for awhile and heard one other clang, and it’s been perfect ever since! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted July 6, 2022 Look too small to be the dowels from the block. They look like locating pins/dowels from the pressure plate. Do you have a manual trans in the car? Are these sheared off or smooth on the ends.....? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
