Something Grinding When You Crank? 

Perfect video

I had this problem on my 06 350z and it didn't give me any warning. I started the car with my keyfob that morning and like an idiot i accidentally turned the key over for maybe a second and thats when im guessing my teeth broke or my flex plate broke (i couldn't hear it cause my car is kinda loud). I got to college and started it up after class and funny enough i was going to drop the car off at the schools auto tech center for them to replace my rear main and while driving out of the parking lot i hear rattling under my car. I was finally able to get my flexplate turned enough to start the car and i just drove it back to the auto tech area and left it. Its been about a month since i dropped it off and they still haven't be able to work on it but im glad i found your video to five me confirmation on my diagnosis.

What makes the starter stay engaged after the vehicle is already started? What would cause the bendix to not fully disengage on a 99' Ranger? Same issue with two different starters, so it's not the starter. Ignition Switch? Wiring or maybe Relay contacts burnt/welded? Idk?

I have a question I replaced a 11 tooth starter with a 13 teeth starter on a Hyundai Genesis sedan, it's started good, but would I have any issues in the long run

Fantastic

great video my friend very professional

Awesome 😍

I've replaced starter and flex plate 97 k1500 5.7 4x4 and still have grinding issues

Superb video

My car had same noise ... i changed flywheel because it was damaged and applied new one ..and also repaired starter but now i have same problem .. starter pinion gear and flywheel doesn't match and sounds grinding but sometimes car starts without problem ..can anybody help me?

My car makes similar sound . 2 years ago I got my starter replaced n the guy who did it forgot to shim it n it’s been starting like this since .n now it’s bad sometimes it won’t even start . Is it the starter or flywheel ??

thanks!

Any way to fix the teeth in place to get some more life?

Around how much it cost me to replace the flex plate & starter for a 2005 Larriat ford f-150 5.4 4x4? I have a Mecanic that do for 1,200. Do you think that a fair price?

Good luck

Great video!!

Cool

Thanks

I think my Nissan Titan started doing this... gotta pull the whole damn intake off which is great

Fabulous video

Woww

Amazing video

Nice one

hello, I am having the same problem but I see no damage to the flex plate and the starter is spinning fine except for the grinding noise. to remedy this I have to take the staerter down and rebolt it then the truck will start with no problem. what is going on ?

I had the same problem and found out that the bolt holes had "wallered out" and is a very common problem on chevrolet 5.7 engines dating back to the 1950's. to solve the problem you may as well add a Danchuck 10100 plate. you can get one at SUMMIT RACING with starter for under $350.00. yes you are going to have to remove the tranny or at least slide it back 6 inches to get to the torque converter off and if you are going to do that you may as well add the danchuck plate and never have to deal with the problem again

Great
