When you say shear off, do you mean the teeth on the gear are gone?
But no I've never heard of this before, but I'm sure someone else has

Yes I have had the teeth completely shear off to where it was just the rod. I had to drop the little dust cover under the fly wheel because the teeth had fallen and wedge against the fly wheel and the cover preventing the motor from turning over..

To be honest I can't remember the brand of that one but it was the one on the truck when I bought it. I went to the part store and bought the one they gave me for my truck and I haven't had a problem since.
