To have that much starter trouble something cant be right. Are both bell dowels in place? If they are missing or even one that could be the reason the starter fits poorly and the others short lived. Auto or manual tranny?



Dowels??? Ain't no stinkin (alignment) dowels.
Manual tranny.

PLUS, now I'm really $%$# off.
The top pic is the mini starter from Amazon - $72
The bottom pic is my Mancini unit - $129

Absolutely no one to blame except myself.
