Pinion/Clutch Check

  1. Inspect pinion assembly teeth.
    • Replace pinion assembly if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also check condition of ring gear teeth.)
  2. Inspect planetary gears/planetary gear teeth.
    • Replace planetary gears/planet gears if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also check condition of pinion shaft/drive shaft gear teeth.)

    • If it locks or rotates in both directions, or if unusual resistance is evident, replace.
