8. Remove four E8 Torx Head screws [7] that mount solenoid to frame.
9. Remove complete solenoid and plunger assembly from lever housing.
10. For models with a boot clamp [8], remove clamp by inserting screwdriver into serrated portion of clamp and prying upward.
Save the clamp for reinstallation.
C. Installation Instructions for Semi-Solid Link Solenoid (See illustrations)
Using replacement semi-solid link solenoid:
1. For boot clamp applications, install the boot clamp [8] and tighten with a pair of pliers.
2. Place new solenoid onto motor by sliding plunger boot into lever housing hole, making sure the threaded plunger rod [14] goes
through the hole in the shift lever.
3. Install new 1/2” plunger nut [11] by hand finger tight. Use of force can rotate the plunger and damage the rubber boot.
4. Push the solenoid forward until the four solenoid bracket and motor frame holes line up.
5. Install the four E8 Torx Head mounting screws [7] and torque them to 14.1-21.5 Nm (125-190 lb in).
6. Install the flexible ground cable [5] to “G” terminal [4].
7. Install the “G” terminal 3/8” nut [4] and torque to 1.8-4.29 Nm (16-38 lb in).
8. Check and adjust pinion clearance. Proper care must be exercised when completing this step to avoid personal injury
and property damage. Also, to avoid overheating and possible damage to the solenoid, power should not be applied in
excess of one minute.
a) Solenoid must be energized to prevent plunger from rotating and damaging the rubber boot while tightening 1/2" plunger nut
[11] to adjust pinion clearance. Warning: Ensure stamped metal strap [3] is disconnected to prevent motor from
rotating.
i. Check required voltage (12V or 24V) stamped on the solenoid bracket.
ii. Apply appropriate power (12V or 24V) to solenoid between "S" [6] (positive lead) and "G" [4] (negative lead)
terminals. Seat the plunger by simultaneously pushing on 1/2" plunger nut [11]. Note: 24 volts can be obtained by
connecting two 12 volt batteries in series.
b) Adjust 1/2” plunger nut [11] until the distance between pinion face [13] and the inside of the machined surface of the nose
housing [12] is .328 to .390 inches. While measuring, apply slight pressure against the pinion [13] to take out the slack.
This distance must conform to product specifications in order for the starter to function properly.
c) Remove the power immediately after adjustment is completed.
9. Install access plug [9] and gasket [10] to front of lever housing and tighten to a minimum of 8.1 Nm (72 lb in).
10. Install the stamped metal connector strap [3].
11.
Install 3/4” solenoid “MTR” terminal nut [1] and the 3/4” motor frame nut [2] and tighten both nuts to 27.1-33.9 Nm (240-300 lb
in).
12. Check motor for proper function before installation.
