"Units now come supplied with alignment shim. Not required on most applications, but if alignment issue between pinion gear and flywheel comes up, then this will eliminate your issue." I remember this being an issue sometime back. It's half the price of the units PP carry. Sell me one way or the other please! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) My starter has been getting worse. Today it fused stuck! Had to put the car in gear, get a rolling start and pop the clutch to get the starter to break free. This has been a long time coming. I've been nursing old starters along for a 15 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I've had three of them on both the 914 and 911 (3.6L and 3.2L engines) for 10 years or so. The one in the 911 lasted nearly a year and was replaced by Automotion no questions asked. The other came from Pelican and is still happily cranking away.
Neither need a shim. Now... what to do with the five or six 911 starters I've somehow accumulated over the years. I'll never put one back on any Porsche I own. |
