After banging our collective heads for a number of months now, my friend suggested that I ask my fellow chevelle.com'ers if they have any ideas regarding a starter seizing problem we are having. So far we have:
1. Reinstalled, Shimmed, reseated the starter at least 10 times.
2. Had the local starter guy (whom does great work) install it.
3. Lost many hours of sleep!
SETUP - SB400 /w no tranny connected. H/D Flex Plate installed.
SYMPTOM - After initial installation the starter will turn fine, engage the plate, and turn the motor over. Then after a random # of tries (usually 1-3) it starts making a grinding/clanging sound that hurts your soul, and will not work again until you loosen and reseat the starter. The starter is good and the plate appears to be correct, we are just at wits end here.
Suggestions?
