starter problem?
when I hit the key it turns over for a split second then stops and makes a whining noise, I had tested it before I put it in and it worked well. is it broken or am I?

Re: starter problem?
have you checked your flywheel for missing teeth?
or the clearance may be a little loose

Re: starter problem?
Sounds like the pinion gear is spinning but not popping out to engage the flexplate/flywheel. I would pull the starter and test it by putting battery cables on it. Make sure that the pinion gear pops out and spins fast. If not, it's bad.

Re: starter problem?
Bad starter drive. The pinion is engaging the flywheel, but the overrun clutch in the drive is slipping.

Re: starter problem?
i'd spray the heck out of the nose of the starter with wd40 to make sure the shart is clean allowing full engagment

Re: starter problem?
I had tested before installing with battery cables in a vise, it engaged fine. Im sure its like raycow says, now is it rebuild-able or should I just buy a new one?

Re: starter problem?
I agree it's like Raycow say's. Buy a new starter drive & put in on the armature & you will have it fixed. They are available rebuilt but are not very good. It's not worth the difference.
