Dont have it off yet but belive gear is shot! What mini starter should use that will last? have headers so I think only a mini will work! 7140082-IMG_0009.JPG (52 downloads)

Just goto a local parts store and get a new one using your old one as a core. Take care, Rick 68 Coronet R/T 440 & 68 Charger 528 Hemi,and 5 Challengers! 6 cyl, 318, 360, 383, 451

Just goto a local parts store and get a new one using your old one as a core. I got mine from Autozone with a lifetime warranty. No matter where I am, if it fails (this if the first i've heard of it actually happening) then I just pull it off and go to the nearest Autozone for a free one, FOR LIFE!!! I like that security and get it on all of my parts that I can. I have it on my waterpump, alternator, brake pads, distributor, etc...just to name a few. And so far I haven't had any quality issues from Autozone. Everything has held up fine. roe 1971 Plymouth Satellite 408/904 8 3/4 3.23 SG

The other stores you have to save your receipt for years in the event the it fails. 1971 Plymouth Satellite 408/904 8 3/4 3.23 SG
