I had the same problem with the starter adapter on a Cont
IO-550N
This happend at 50 hours and then again at 450
hours
In order to replace the adpter I proceded as
follow :
Hoist the engine
Removed the 4 bolts attaching the engine mount to the
firewall
Remove the bolts attaching the nosedoor to the engine
mount
Pull the engine 2 inches forward from the
firewall
Remove the starter side way
Remove the adapter (slip it off aft
side)
Then Install the new adapter
Best luck

I know there was some discussion a while
back about starter drive issues, but I can't find any specifics. I've
developed a problem where the starter slips and won't engage, so I suppose I'm
a victim of the TCM problem at 400hr TT. Is is possible to remove the
adapter without moving the engine forward? I have an A/C pump on the
back of the engine too, so it's very packed behind the engine. I'm not
even sure what to remove. Anyone have some ideas to make this as easy as
possible? Any photos?
Thanks
Ron
