Starter Motor Noise Diagnosis

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the flywheel ring gear for damage or unusual wear.


Shim the starter as required.


In order to add pinion to ring gear clearance a full size shim must be used. Do not shim only one starter mounting bolt. There are 3 shims available in different shapes, for clearance, all are 1 mm (0.039 in) thick.
