The gear comp had score marks around it where the one way clutch (sprag bearings?) had started to slip and not turn the starting drive gear.

From the way it's sounding this thread by TonyM should help give some insight

The gear is the part that fails, when it does it looks fine but squeals on starting.
The thread gives all the info you need to diagnose the fault and fix it- if you have a spare gearset
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
