I have my gearbox out, and got my starter motor over hauled.
Went to clean out the bushing in the trans case where the end of the starter shaft locates.
It appeared to have a cap on the end and when I went to push it out, it just crumbled, so I'm not sure if it was a build up or dirt and grease or decomposed plastic.
Here are a couple of photos to show where it is located. I could not located a plastic cap on the parts listing.. but could see the bushing...
Any ideas?
