To assure good starter engagement, the engine mounting flange/starter motor mounting flange dimension on the 1987 Model 911 Carrera transmission housing was reduced from 117 - 0.2 mm to 115 - 0.2 mm.
From Production Date: September 6, 1986
Transmission number: 74H00889
When replacing starter motors with gear damage, the starter ring gear should also be checked for damage and replaced if necessary. Transmission dimension "a" should also be checked.
If transmission housing measurement "a" is 117 - 0.2 mm, starter mounting flange should be machined to dimension 115 - 0.2 mm. This machining can be accomplished without disassembling the transmission.
