These are the cups I took out of my 550 starter clutch.
The one on the right is pretty obviously shattered at the end that bears on the roller. One of the cups I took out of my 750B4 was damaged but it was collapsed on the other end, away from the roller.

Damn! So back to Powerstroke's question, if you're having starter clutch issues I'd start with a rebuild kit. It'll come with springs, end caps and rollers. Mine ate a couple of springs (not the caps like BIll's) and I'm still chasing gremlins with it, but I'd start with a rebuild kit and see if that resolves your issue.
Permanent and perpetual noob.
