Raptor Starter Clunks
I know there is problems with the one way bearing on the 2001 raptors. I hear that the starter spins but the engine doesn't turn over.
I have two buddies with 02 Raptors and they clunk and grind when turning over. Sounds bad...but they start. Is this just a bad gear, or is a complete starter kit with a gear and bearing needed to fix?
Any 03 and newer raptors have this problem? My 02 has as many or more hours and I haven't had a starter problem.

Raptor Starter Clunks
Pardon me for jumping in here, but I'd like to ask a question and it may (or may not) be related.
A friend of mine is looking for a used Raptor, we went to see one today, it's in mint condition by the look, it's a 2002.
It starts really well without any noises, run smooth as silk, but when we shut it down, it does a single 'CLUNK'. A real
sharp Clunk as if someone would give it a hammer blow somewhere on the base. We started it a couple of time after that, no noise on startup, runs smooth, but that single 'CLUNK' everytime we put the key to OFF.
Anyone have a clue on this? Is it a big problem on the rise? Someone out there has a Raptor doing this??
Thanks in advance!

I am using the 2 o-ring fix like they mentioned on Raptortranny.com and it is working real good. I looked at my starter sprag and it was still in good shape just the little spring that holds everything together was totally shot. I also found a much stronger 0-ring that will work but I found it after everything was put together.
