Thread: TD5 D2 starter motor question

had the same issue last week. i just replaced the contacts and no problems since the clicking your getting is the plunger hitting one of the contacts, the lack of rotation is the plunger not bridging both all for the sake of $28.00 of fleabay. The rear seal you mention is not a serviceable item not actually sure if its a seal or just a collection of gunk. mines the same hasn't been an issue, more importantly since that is the mating face of the outer of the brushes and pole faces it should be fine.

Great. Thanks for the info. I think I'll let sleeping dogs lie, I've had no other issues with the starter motor since installation.
