Starter shims? Do you use em? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just curious, it didn't look like the last starter used them but the new one came with them. I turned the engine on after installing a new flex plate and starter and it ran fine for a little bit, then I heard some heavy duty clunking around down there, so I turned it off and am afraid to turn it back on. Do most of these use shims? Or could the unbolting hte tranny and torque converter and putting them back on some how thrown off the alignment?
