ABSTRACT:
A starter for cranking an engine is mounted within a heat conductive casing which surrounds a ring gear and a torque converter in such a manner that the starter is disposed radially inside the casing and directly contacts the inside surface of the casing. The casing insulates operational sound of the starter to enhance the quietness in a vehicle compartment. An air flow generated by the torque converter in the casing dissipates the heat from the starter to prevent excessive temperature rise of the starter. The heat generated in the starter is transferred outside through the direct contact between the starter and the casing, enhancing the heat-resisting characteristics of the starter.
