Re: Starter Shims

I would take Ble Burbans advice if I was you. I learned last weekend that it is a lot easier to shim a starter correctly than it is to pull your transmission and replace a flywheel. Every starter is different and they all need different amounts of shims. The starter I put in after my new flywheel needed 3 shims moving it closer to the flywheel and the first starter I got from napa didn't even move the pinion gear out far enough to engage the whole width of the flywheel, so you never know what your getting.
