ABSTRACT:
An intermediate geared starter is provided, which has a pinion shaft, a pinion gear, an intermediate shaft, an intermediate gear, and a housing. The pinion shaft is rotatable upon receipt of a rotational force from a motor and the pinion gear is supported on the pinion shaft. The intermediate shaft is disposed in parallel to the pinion shaft and the intermediate gear is carried by the intermediate shaft and held in meshing engagement with the pinion gear at all times. Further, the housing has a through-bore, to which the intermediate shaft is inserted, which supports one end of the intermediate shaft inserted to the through-bore. The housing has a seal member adapted to block a sliding clearance, which is created between the through-bore and an axial distal end of the intermediate shaft, from the outside of the starter.
