Starter grinding

[Fayt]

Finally, after 5 long and painful months of driving a mini van, I'M GETTING MY CAR BACK!@#!@#!@

Anyways, there is only ONE small problem now. The starter grinds. The car can start from a stand still no problem, but it grinds when cranking. I replaced the starter, and still does it. I just did a 6 bolt swap, and put in a used 6 bolt AWD flywheel. Like I said, no problem in starting other than the grinding noise; I just don't want it to grind down the metal and have to reaplace MORE parts in the near future.

Hmm, I'm going to have to try that since mine has been grinding on the days initial start too.

when you did the swap, were all the teeth good on the flywheel. pull the starter and check the teeth on it to. i pulled one from my brother in laws car, it looked like half his clutch was in there. if its the oem one that came with the 6 bolt it just might be time to change it.

a FWD starter will do the same thing. Make sure the parts store got you the AWD starter as well.
