Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The least likely true statement is that many shops replace solenoids with starter drives. Typically, solenoids and starter drives serve different functions in a vehicle's starting system. The solenoid primarily acts as a relay to engage the starter drive with the engine's flywheel, while the starter drive (or bendix) is the component that actually turns the engine over. Replacing one with the other would not be a standard practice.
