Starter quit working today. Turned but did not engage flywheel. Removed starter and it bench tested fine. Stuck my hand in the starter hole. Teeth felt fine, but I found this in hole. What the heck? I figured it's part of the t o bearing, but the clutch works fine, and it shifts fine. I didn't realize there was brass in the bearing.

Yeah it sure looks like part of a release bearing but I have never seen one chewed up like that.

Figured it out. There is no way that part of the t o bearing could come off the pilot shaft and still be in a complete circle. I did replace the starter while it was out. Took a good look at starter I took out, and it appears the bushing and end cap came off the starter end. All pieces accounted for. Think I dodged another bullet!

It's difficult to help with no context of size.
It is always helpful to use a familiar object like a coin. I will offer that I bet that is why your starter motor stopped working |

Just a WAG if it's a little larger than a nickle it could be the bronze bearing from a
starter nose cone. |
