Thread: Starter pinion not close enough to the flywheel

Tweet

Automatic or 4/5 speed?
Do you know the tooth count/size of the flywheel/flexplate?

There are 2 sizes for automatics-- 153 & 168 tooth starters. I dont know if this is true for 4/5 speed trans.
Try to research starters. There are a few that advertise they work with either a 153 or 168
flexplate ring gear. I dont know if this is true with 4/5 speeds.
Anyone add to this?

( edit )
Does the starter mount boss have 3 holes? 2 straight across from each other & 1 kinda at an angle?
