starter question
my starter just went out so i went to kragen to get a new one. when i put the new one on the car the gear on the starter would grind on the fly wheel. does it matter what year the motor is. i have a 83 motor in my 1980 rx-7. ain't the 12a flywheels all the same? what could be causing the starter gear to grind on the flyewheel? any 411 would help alot. thanks

not all the 12a flywheel sare the same (i think)...
IIRC the 79-82 12a's had one flywheel.. and the 83-85 12a's had a slightly different one...
do a search and see what comes up...
with the starter motor... i got no friggen idea

the starters from a 79-82 are the same and the starter from mid 82-85 are the same. it goes the same for flywheels, 79-82 and 83-85 being different. the starter gear probably grinds because it is either not kicking out far enough to reach the teeth on the flywheel and it spins on the outer edge of the teeth on the flywheel or it may grind because the teeth on the starter don't match up with the teeth on the flywheel. i.e. the starter teeth are bigger than the teeth on the flywheel and they can't catch, they just grind. let us know what you find.
