Diagnostic Aids

Step 1 - Step 11:

^ Inspect the flywheel ring gear for damage or unusual wear.
^ Shim the starter as required.
^ In order to add pinion to ring gear clearance, a full size shim must be used. Do not shim only one starter mounting bolt. There are 3 shims available in different shapes for clearance. All are 1 mm (0.039 inch) thick.
