Guys got a problem with my car since i bought it,on occasion when i go to start my car whether its cold or hot, i get a grinding noise as if the starter isnt engaging with the flywheel correctly... i have inspected both the teeth on the flywheel and the starter and both are fine with no damaged or missing teeth!
I had a suspicion it could be the internals of the starter motor, so i swapped it out for a known working one with much less kms on it and to my surprise i still have the grinding noise,i have had the issue when i was at a friends house so i got him to crank it and i looked to see if the engine was turning over and it wasnt.... the previous owner told me my car has a spoon clutch with aftermarket flywheel so i dont know if theres something wrong with the way the flywheel was installed??
I have a new battery that was replaced 4 months ago so i can rule this out...
does any1 have any ideas or suggestions? im stumped and dont know what to do... everytime i have to start the car i cringe hoping it wont grind and embarrass me :S
