Need a new flywheel??

Just to make sure, did you buy the proper starter? 5spd and auto ones are different.

what kind of noise does it make? if its a solenoid problem theres no need to buy a new starter.

The noise started since the first day the workshop installed it,its a brand new starter,i think its the right starter,the noise is like when the engine is already started and we tried to start it again,mybe i'll post a video of it

I am having that issue right now as well. Looking at the teeth of my original starter, they are a little worn on the edges. In that past two days I have replaced the starter twice because of the noise you are referring to. I put the original one back in with the worn teeth and it starts just fine with no noise.

I wonder if it is the fact the the new starter have perfect teeth and the flywheel just doesn't mesh well with it?

Cb3 vtec, did your noise go away?

Any input from anyone would be appreciated.

whats the noise sound like? metal ripping metal hitting metal metal grinding on metal???

[fre$hdolla]

It almost sounds like grinding... like if the engine is running and you try to start it.

my starter does the same thing ,i think its just a cheap rebuild ,i think the overrun clutch hangs up in the starter and causes the high pitch grinding sound .

if the starter can still start the car you dont need a new flywheel and a little wear on the teeth shouldnt hurt anything the flywheel is located between the engine and the tranny, bolts to the crank and is the surface that the clutch is pressed up against to ingage the tranny

yeah mine does it to but only once in a while but your definatly right about the overrunning clutch its like the clutch forgets to disengage and lets the engine spinn the starter faster then it should for just a second but i cant figure out why but theres no reason a brand new or even rebuild starter should do this so i would just take it back
