Dave1647545494 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 look on your mitchell at work there should be a specific clearance between the starter teeth and the ring gear that you can check with a feeler gauge add or remove shims untill its in spec and you should stop breaking bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
