I was hoping it was just the starter. Got a great deal on one and while I was waiting I realized I could reach in where the starter was and turn the gear by hand easily counter-clockwise and not so easily clockwise. This makes me think the bendix/clutch needs to be replaced. I tried the new starter and it only grabs at 1st and then just spins. I beleive the bendix has to go. Can it be replaced without removing the motor? It looks like by removing the front casing i would have access. Help! I may need to be walked through this. Thanks
