Joe: While you have the starter apart check the
Bendix drive very closely. There is a roller clutch
inside which stops the engine from overspeeding the
starter when the engine catches. They are prone to failure, if any doubt replace it, they are not normally serviceable except
as a unit. Ernie and The
Black Bitc_!! -----Original Message----- Hi all: What is the problem if the symptom of a problem is
that the starter spins but doesn't spin the motor? Does that mean the car has fly wheel trouble? Could this problem have been created by the
transmission shop that repaired the transmission in February? It seems
like a long time ago but this is the same tranny shop that "disabled"
the parking brake on this car because they didn't know what they had on their
hands. I have searched the archive on the site for
"transmission," "flywheel," and "starter" but
haven't found this specific issue. I can turn the ignition key several times and
eventually it will "catch" but it is getting longer and longer between
starts. If this is the problem is this "easy" (what
am I thinkin'?) to fix? -- |
