Hey guys, Thanks for all your help, as of now at this point in time it the starter is working. He had the spacers and the flywheel put on correctly. It was just a bad solenoid. I'll let you know if anything comes up. I guess only time will tell. dmcchaser <dmcchaser@xxxxxxxx> wrote: I've never seen this on a D before, but on the other cars I've worked on it has been either a faulty starter - The Mechanism that engages the gear gets sticky and dosen't extend fully before spinning up - Or the ring gear on the flywheel has worn teeth.
