starter noise and no start

[1gengsxz3]

so i just did an atomatic to manual tranny swap on my galant gsx. i took every part out of my eclipse to do it and now the last thing i have to do is start it. i replaced the auto starter with the manual one but when i turn the key theres a loud click and then nothing happens. any idea?

Did you splice the two starter wires that were in the automatic wiring harness? They are in a large connector that goes to the auto transmission and are black with a yellow stripe.

can you make a video of the noise

 

[1gengsxz3]

did the splice just imagine a loud click thats what it is

 

[turbogst98]

did you put the spacer on the tranny when you put it in

 

[1gengsxz3]

spacer? the large cut out up top the goes over the starter? if so then yes anything else?

 

[turbogst98]

go get the starter tested

 

[1gengsxz3]

thats what i thought it might be i guess i gotta take it off again unless anyone else has anything

 

[turbogst98]

yep
it shouldnt be to hard
did the starter sit up for a while

 

[1gengsxz3]

yeas it did it also wasnt used for probably 6 months

 

[turbogst98]

well that would be my guess
its most likely bad

Hey before you pull it just turn the key to on and jump the positive terminal on the starter to the body of the starter with a screw driver and that should give you a better idea.
