Gus 5 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 just finished a manual swap....after much pain in ass only one more problem the starter makes a really high pitched squeal when starting...sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesnt seem to engage thoughts? highly doubt its something that i have done, but does seem like an extremely inconveniant time for it to die? solenoid not engaging the starter properly?

bravo 34 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Mine did the same. I found that it was the starter on the way out. However - a tune up so that it started easier fixed the problem for awhile until the starter finally gave in. I think it happens when they get hot from too much turning over.

Gus 5 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 thought so again, just seems strangely inconveniant but to me sounds about right sounds like my old one did before it died, but mine was not quite so noisy...the brushes ?? inside gay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go to an engineering firm and ask them to make some brass bushes for you. Should cost no more than $30. If it does, slap them in the face and fcuk off to someone who will do it for that price.
