Especially with an automatic I think of it as the "sound of confidence". Dealing with Syncros you can only imagine the sounds I make when I have to change a starter "again".

And, Can you comment on how it sounds or starts differently then the old one? I’m just wondering if this is a upgrade I should be planning ahead for. My current 85 Auto starter seems fine at the moment.

I’d love to hear your impressions of any difference with the new starter.

I looked closer as you recommended and there was the nut. All came off with relative ease and my new gear driven starter from Van-Café is installed.

Then a short Allen key can be used to hold the bolt back while removing that nut. Hopefully that long bolt is not rusted to the cast iron bell housing. That can happen and it can make for a bad day. > > Dennis > >>
