I just brought home the ABM last night from the shop just in time for Rennsport. Tried to move it into the garage for some work and the starter is grinding. Not good.
Question: with a bad starter / potential flywheel, is it OK to push start it. I only need to go about 100 miles each way.... I also have AAA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

Put in 5th and rock the car back and forth a bit to slightly rotate the flywheel so that the starter gear engages, remember to pull it out of gear before you try to start.
