Hi doc,

Is that really a TCI? I did not know TCI manufactured manual transmission bellhousings.

I made a slightly offset bushing in my lathe to correct starter alignment. That was on a Quicktime so not 100% the same. The bushing is pressed into the starter to aid in assembly and repeatability. How far off was the bellhousing from the crank centerline? Are you sure the starter is mounting flush with the ATI?
