Starter motors are the components used to start an internal combustion engine. There are several types of starter motors; each has its own method to produce rotation. It is usually mounted near the transmission and consists of a small electric motor, a pinion drive, and a starter solenoid. These three parts are joined together, with the solenoid on top of the motor while the pinion drives the motor shaft. Starter motors are a part of the starting system that comprises the ignition switch, battery, starter relay, cables, and the ring gear on the engine flywheel. For an automatic transmission vehicle, the starter system will also have a neutral safety switch, equivalent to the clutch switch in manual transmission vehicles.
