I bought this van about 4K miles ago.
From the beginning when "starting" the starter had problems:
I thought maybe it was the wrong flywheel, but it has 132 teeth with a pressed on gear, so it seems to be the correct one.
could the starter gear be wrong? it has 9 teeth
Someone thought it could be out of alignment, but I think that's doubtful; the pins around two of the engine/trans bolts hold that alignment, and the starter is solidly in its hole.
Any thoughts would be appreciated; feel free to reply directly.
TIA
