OEM Part
OEM: Made by an Original Equipment Manufacturer. This part is made by an original equipment manufacturer or under their license, ensuring compatibility and quality.
Starter Drive for the starter motor on the VM turbo diesel engine.

The drive carries the pinion and overrunning (one-way) clutch on the starter armature shaft. When the starter is energised the pinion is thrown forward to mesh with the flywheel ring gear and crank the engine; once the engine fires the one-way clutch lets the pinion overrun so the starter is not driven back. It is renewed when the pinion teeth are worn or chipped, or when the clutch slips or fails to engage.

Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC5753 starter drive do?
The RTC5753 starter drive carries the pinion and one-way overrunning clutch on the starter armature shaft. When the starter is energised the pinion throws forward to mesh with the flywheel ring gear and crank the engine, then overruns once the engine fires.
Which engine does this starter drive fit?
This starter drive fits the VM turbo diesel starter motor in the Range Rover Classic. It covers the 2.4 and 2.5 four-cylinder VM turbo diesel on 1986-1991 models and the 2.5 VM turbo diesel on 1992-1994. It won't fit petrol or non-VM starters.
What are the signs the starter drive needs replacing?
A worn starter drive typically shows as a grinding or whirring noise when starting, the starter spinning without cranking, or the pinion failing to engage the flywheel. Chipped pinion teeth or a slipping one-way clutch are the usual causes on these VM diesel starters.
