Abstract
An improved drive arrangement for a starter motor includes a rubber cushion between a drive plate and a pinion gear. The rubber cushion has seals at inner and outer locations which seal against the drive plate. In this way, the area between the drive plate and the rubber cushion is sealed to prevent contaminants from reaching the area and harming the connection between the drive plate and cushion.
