Which starter fault does a heavily worn ring gear at one point suggest?

  • A.The engine habitually stops in the same position
  • B.The starter is misaligned, which causes the pinion to contact only one side of the ring gear during engagement
  • C.The clutch has failed
  • D.The pinion is worn, which transfers the damage evenly around the whole circumference of the ring gear in service

Answer: A

An engine tends to stop at the same points in its cycle, so the same teeth take every engagement and wear first. Misalignment genuinely produces localised damage too, which makes the second option a real alternative cause worth checking. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once. The order in which the effects act is what decides the outcome, so it is worth establishing first.
