I bought a starter from autozone. I'm having problems with it. I put it on with no shims and i can hear it banging against the flywheel ( I believe thats what the sound is). Well I put one shim on, then two, then three, and finally four shims and the same thing is happening . Can someone help me out on this. Should I keep trying to put more shims on, or am I doing something wrong. It is really getting on my nerves now. Also if you have pics of your starter hooked up and unhooked can you post them.

 

anyone have any ideas?

i had a similar problem, but this was with my old blazer. anyway they gave me a starter for a differnet model blazer, might have been the 3 cyl. not for sure though. but anyway they could have possibly mixed soemthing up and gave u a v6 starter if they Are differnet then ours.
just a suggestion to look into

44 views and nothing? Someone has to know something.

 

When you can insert the tip of a straightened paperclip between the tip of a starter tooth gear and the valley between two flywheel gear teeth, that'll be when you've got it shimmed enough.

 

 

Get an AC Delco unit.And yeah, you bought it from autozone.
