Two types of starter motors are utilized depending upon transaxle usage (manual or automatic). Manual transaxle equipped vehicles utilize conventional starter motors which consist of a yoke, an armature assembly, an overrunning clutch assembly, a solenoid, a commutator end cover, a brush holder and a pinion drive lever. Automatic transaxle equipped vehicles utilize a reduction type starter motor which has, in addition to the components found on conventional starter motors, a reduction gear and shock absorber assembly.
