the ******* starter doesnt engage the flywheel

its a gsr starter to my knowledge, and you can here the starter gear pop out and spin, but it isnt catching anything.

what could be causing this????

 

ok well i guessing that my problem is that the starter has a big P30 on it and part number of SM-402-16n so im guessing its a jdm b16 starter...and i just learned the hard way you cant use a b16 starter on a gsr.

 

tested the starter...it extends fully, just isnt even hitting against the flywheel.

i have no idea whats going on...please help?

 

bump....before i put this car in storage until next year.

 

goodnight bump...

i really think that a b16 starter will not work with a gsr act flywheel.

 

if I remember correctly, wasn't there a thread that said you couldn't use a jdm starter with a usdm flywheel because of the different number of teeth...or was it the other way around?? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

i dunno but the starter didnt reach the flywheel. a new gsr starter fixed it.
