DINGDINGDING!!! Theres your problem. Same issue as mine, but the previous owner had the "smarts" to drill another hole in the plate... bah.
I'm surprised you even got the top bold through...

Swapping it out will solve all your issues. Happy tranny dropping smile

Appears that my starter solenoid is crapping out. Looks like another swap is in the works.
You can hear it spinning but not engaging. bah.

I have 3 good solenoids if you need one lol.
My starter just took a crap again, I have 2 that the casing seems to have broken around the end bearing making the gear sloppy has hell and unable to keep pressure against the flywheel. I have only put in used starters, as I am afraid of buying a new one and the same thing happening. My car also seems to turn over pretty slow almost as if there is something drawing the battery power, but I have no shorts. Plus my car won't start anyways right now do to my other CAS issue
Does anyone know if the n/t starters put out more torque? or another high torque starter option, cause it maybe my compression 10:1. If I plug the plugs is seems to turn over perfect, then as soon as the compression is in the cylinder it has trouble turning the motor.

Thanks anyway BW. I picked up another one and finally it starts like a dream. I always wondered why it sounded like sh!t when my car cranked. lol
It would only make sense that it's the higher compression.
When you say it doesn't start right away, do you crank, get a fire or 2, then have to crank again? If so, I've been doing that for years.
