SO my starter has been doing this for a year now, i replaced it last summer and it never did it before..
4 years ago, we replaced clutch and all that jazz, and the starter didn't do this, i replaced starter last summer because it ended up stop working and the new one ended up grinding for some reason..
Well; i got lazy, i admit it, i messed up. Anyway; now that we are past that part..
I have read all the articles on this and i found a few useful posts but i wanna hear your opinions on my issue..
The starter grinds on startup, it sounds like metal to metal, and i know for a FACT that it is contacting starter to the flywheel..
WHAT could cause this, and WHY?? Also, i saw there are different starters i should watch out for.. what should i stay away from? what should i use?
The car is a 1997 Eclipse GST FWD.
