"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)
