Starter Torque Limiter Repair

I have helped out a couple of times in putting these back together.
For those of you that face this daunting task, here's how to do it.

Here's the kit plus an extra washer that just came in the mail (hope you don't need that washer somewhere)

Look at the witness marks on each side of the gears and washers and you can reassemble w/out too much problem.

The small gear has a counterbore that the C clip on 1 end of the splined shaft has and it should nest almost completely in.
 
Then stack up washer-fiberdisk/gear/fiberdisk/gear/fiberdisk/gear/fiberdisk-washer/3xspring-wa
sher/bushing on the splined shaft.

And that's the easy part.

Get a vise and 2 identical height sockets and a 3rd to fit on the end of the shaft like so...
See IMG_0168.JPG
I did this vertically so it can be done single handed and used a magnet to hold 1 socket in place while I positioned the other.
Leave enough room between the sockets and the shaft to install the retaining ring.

Now squeeze that puppy till the groove is visible and install the ring.
See IMG_0167.JPG

Unfortunately, the guy sent the wrong retaining ring along with an extra washer.  
So I couldn't finish it off, but there you go... that's how to put the genie back in the bottle... if you have a cork.

What some guys will do for a laugh.   Grin

Should there be any washers that go between the unit and the crankcase/both ends of the shaft?

yes, there should be a washer on both ends of the torque limiter gear.

You might find them locally at a bearing house and you could try an auto store.

OK....I am going to be a troublemaker here.

I bought a torque limiter without the snap rings.....I have no idea why someone would think it is a good idea to take this thing apart?  It is useless in pieces!

The D1400 and M1800 are a series of snap rings - but you also need to know the size to complete the part number.

Here are links to the chart....what size of ring do I need?

1st thing to recognize is S and G are different.
I would measure G and get the ring accordingly.

Yes I wouldn't take it apart if I didn't have to.
But, sometimes it gets stuck in the case and if you couldn't wiggle it out...
But I'd also have the good sense to keep the rings together with all the parts.

I had a bit of trouble trying to measure "G"....my calipers are too fat to fully seat into the bottom of the groove.

I will give it another go tonight....now that I have the tables to compare the measurements with.

If you're going to a bearing store for the rings, pretty sure they would have a blade mic to measure with.

I'll try to remember to locate the one I have and measure it too.

I wasn't able to figure out what I needed without taking a torque limiter apart that had the correct clips in place.

The end with the big washer needs a 14mm clip.'

The end of the shaft with the sprocket has a "keeper" made from 2 semi-circle pieces.  

I found that the 2 piece ring can be matched with a 1/2" snap ring, and I was able to cut the ends off 2 clips and make the missing pieces (only one is shown in the photograph).  I used a Dremel with a small cut off wheel to cut the ends off the ring, then a small stone wheel to smooth the cut ends.

Hey guys, resurrecting this post. I am another victim, perhaps of my own stupidity. I don't know how the sprockets on my gear got out of alignment, so I couldn't install the idler gear. I tried to align the sprockets but they wouldn't budge, so I took the gear apart and now can't assemble it.

What is the proper way of aligning these sprockets, and is it common for them to get out of alignment?

The photos in this thread are gone, hoping you guys still have them and might be able to reupload. I suggest imgur, they seem to keep photos forever. Specifically looking for the photo with the vise trick. I understand it, but would be nice to get a visual.

I reattached my pics, but I think your question refers to the other post about 4 speed upgrade.
