Nissan 240SX Starter Motor
The moment you turn the key, the Nissan 240SX Starter Motor delivers a jolt of mechanical spin that starts the engine. The Starter Motor draws direct current through a heavy gauge lead from the battery. Its solenoid is activated and it does two things simultaneously. One, it slides the drive pinion into the flywheel. Two, it energizes its armature windings. Thus, the electromagnetic force whips the shaft into motion. The compact housing contains brushes that feed current to the commutator, with field coils or permanent magnets encircling the armature that rotates. An overrunning clutch releases the pinion as soon as the engine fires to prevent damage. The early 240SX models applied a straightforward direct drive Starter Motor, while the later years had a gear reduction Starter Motor which inserted a small reduction gear between the armature and pinion, increasing torque and reducing size and weight. Safety circuits such as the neutral or clutch switch will still prevent cranking unless the transmission is in the correct position. The Starter Motor is small but essential, linking the stored power of the battery to the roaring fire of combustion. The sporty Nissan 240SX benefits from the design of a reliable electric starter which has been observed throughout Nissan engineering.

- Q: How to remove and install a gear reduction starter motor in a Nissan 240sx?A:Datsun/Nissan began using a reduction gear starter motor in the Canadian versions 200SX model. They were also available as an option on later models. The differences between the gear reduction and conventional starter motors are: the gear reduction starter motor has a set of ratio reduction gears while the conventional starter motor does not: the brushes on the gear reduction starter motor are located. To remove and install, disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery, disconnect the starter motor wiring at the starter motor, taking note of the positions for correct installation. Remove the bolts attaching the starter motor to the engine and remove the starter motor from the vehicle. Install the starter motor to the engine, tighten the attaching bolts evenly. Be careful not over torque the mounting bolts as this will crack the nose of the starter motor case assembly. Install the starter motor wiring in the correct location, connect the negative battery cable, and start the engine a few times to make sure of proper operation. The starter motor solenoid is also known as the magnetic switch assembly. To replace, remove the starter motor from the engine, place the starter motor in a vise or equivalent to hold the starter motor in place while you are working on the solenoid. Loosen the locknut and remove the connection from the starter motor going to the M terminal of the solenoid or bottom terminal of the solenoid. Remove the securing screws and remove the solenoid. Install the solenoid to the starter motor and tighten the securing screws. Install the connection and locknut at bottom terminal of the starter motor.
