Starter Washer
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Starter Washer, also known as the starter shim, is a small but important part of a commercial truck's starting system. It is typically made of metal and is placed between the starter motor and the engine block. The purpose of the Starter Washer is to adjust the distance between the starter motor and the flywheel, which is necessary for proper engagement and disengagement of the starter. Without the Starter Washer, the starter motor may not engage properly, causing the engine to crank slowly or not at all. This can lead to a variety of issues, including decreased fuel efficiency, increased wear and tear on the starter motor, and even engine damage. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the Starter Washer is in good condition and properly installed to ensure reliable starting performance for your commercial truck.
