Starter problems
Ok so i have a 90 LX with a C-4 behind it. I,ve started it with the C-4 maybe 40 times no issues. I put a new front pump in the tranny and started it on the lift to check pressures, no issues. Try to start the car one day later on the groundand i get grinding. I pulled the starter and the gear was worn so i replaced it. Grinding isnt as bad, but still does it with like a klunk somtimes. Im way last cant figure it out... Can anyone help????

RE: Starter problems
It's based on knowledge and your ability to share accurate replies. How long you've been a tech . Things like that. They are very hard to come by here.
Maybe the issue is the starter.

there 's a little more to it than just ASE certified...there are 8 total certs for ase and L1.....but working in the field I believe is a requirement ........DIAGNOSIS on noises is the hardest form of diagnostics over the internet

Well since I'm a mod here and about 25+ years of experience w/ working on cars, it was pretty easy.
The handfull of other members here that have them have proven track records. Like I said, they don't come easy.
What do you mean by "do you have to do something over the internet?"
