[QUOTE="haymaker, post: 133441, member: 22924"] I just remembered also, in one of the directions I shimmed it the starter engaged but then the gear would not retract. Tipping it in that direction caused it to bind just enough that the solenoid released the spring could not overcome the pressure. I discovered this when, after it started and I shut it off it would not start again and when I loosened the bolts I heard the gear pop out of the flywheel. Be aware of this. If the tolerance is tighter than with the Ford you may also get some grinding telling you you are close but not close enough to get it to engage. It is a trial and error process for sure and may not work for you at all. The ford starter had an angle of about 35% for about 1/4 of an inch that probably helped the gear pick up the flywheel. Hopefully your starter has a generous lead in angle too. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
