Keep your engine cranking with the Standard Ignition Starter Drive SDN-246. This starter drive is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, covering a broad run of imports and captive imports from 1974 through the mid-1990s — including the Honda Accord, Civic, CRX and Prelude; Toyota Celica, Corolla, Corona and Pickup; Subaru GL, Loyale, BRAT and XT; Isuzu Trooper, Pickup and Impulse; plus the Chevrolet Sprint and Geo Prizm and Storm. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of years, models and engines.
The starter drive is the pinion-and-clutch assembly on the starter. When you turn the key, it slides out to mesh with the engine's flywheel ring gear and transmits cranking torque; its overrunning clutch then lets the pinion free-wheel and disengage once the engine fires, so the running engine doesn't back-drive the starter.
Signs the original drive may need replacing include a grinding noise while starting, the starter spinning without cranking the engine, or the pinion failing to engage or release. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
