What other starter motors are available that do not beat up the starter
adapters as bad?
Thanks

hello
The TCM starter adaptors are stressed by the permanent magnet motors,
like
the Iskra brand and others.
The permanent magnet motors have high starting torque and more
importantly
do not relax after being de-enegized. The start adaptor needs to be
able
to unwind a bit to totally disengage.
Aircraft Specialties Services found it was being blamed for warranty
problems that they knew was not their fault. So they made a cutaway
starter
adaptor and made video of the mechanism on a running engine.
