Re: what the hell happened to my starter?

There's is specific amount of gap necessary between the 2 gears that mesh together (flywheel and bendix gear). Often times if the gap is too much or not enough the starter gear becomes jammed. There is a tool that can obtained for measuring such gaps. Any auto parts house should have it.
