I DONT KNOW WHY… but my car will turn over… start… but the start gear sticks or somethings rubbing! turns over with a ton of stress on the starter… SOO… i got curious put a socket on the udp… turned the motor over by hand… THEN realized the starters engadged… OR somethings seriouslly rubbing cause i could barely turn the motor over by hand with rachet… SOO I removed the starter and tried again to see if the motor turns over… OF COURSE… it went smoothly… so i slap one of the 4 extra starters in and SAME THING… so im lost… it has to be the fw i would think… anyone ever have issues with aftermarket flywheels? cause im about to rip mine out and put the stocker back in!! :rant: ---
