how's the body work on freedom going? From: whocanduncan@xxxxxxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Installing new starter Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:25:28 -0500 Finally, huh? The old one passed the FLAPS' tests but we couldn't apply enough torque with our little, itty bitty fingers to tell if the bearings were shot. There was definitely some play, though. And the teeth were shot. It was 21 years old so time to replace. I went with a stock vanagon starter. Wish I could install a higher compression starter. I read somewhere that a diesel GTI starter with an adapter plate would fit but I didn't want to go through the hassle. Fortunately the flywheel looks fine. I surely don't want to open that door.
