You often have to tilt the starter as you insert it into the clutch housing so the drive will clear the flywheel. It takes a little doing in an awkward place, but usually solves the problem. If you don't have the starter bracket that goes between the starter and an oil pan bolt, you can order it from C&G (800-266-0470) as 51A-11150, $7. It helps support the starter, and prevents torque twisting. This message was edited by supereal on 9-1-13 @ 3:51 PM

If your new starter has the "made in India" replacement starter drive, not a Bendix, some grinding will required to fit this assembly to your engine.

Have you considered having your old starter rebuilt? The new starter may also allow you to use the old Bendix. IMHO they are much more reliable than the new style. Tom

I'd send it back and order one with a standard drive. As you know how to maneuver it, the outsize drive is the obvious problem. We get ours from C&G.

A guy on tour with us last year had a starter failure with one of those new type drive mechanisms. An internal retainer spring had popped off/out. He was able to make a roadside repair and get it back together because he is an excellent repairman. I don't think the average old car owner would have known how to make that repair. I personally prefer the function and sound of the old Bendix drive system. I would also suggest having your old one rebuilt or finding another one like it in good condition.

I have one of those "new" starters that I got from Joblot and I used the original drive and it works fine. However, the new style drive didn't work at all. Shiny side up! Cecil/WV

Joe, Check around for starter and generator rebuilders, you may be able to save some money. NAPA has a rebuilding service in some areas. I had a starter rebuilt locally for $85 in 2005. Tom
