Well does it grind on the USDM Starter? I have heard both and dont know the true answer

<-------------------- who is crossing finger's that is does not as it is the mail

 

Yes it grinded for me....

YES it didn't grind for some others..

either way I wouldn't worry if it is going into your SiR/Si....since the Mitsuba starter will work just fine with it....

It's the Integras with the Denso starter which experienced the grinding problems.

 

I have a brand new ITR tranny it is going into

 

Mitsuba starter...No grind..
Denso starter...maybe grind....

Mitsuba starter = SiR
Denso = ITR

it bears no relation to what tranny it will go into. I use Mitsuba starter.

 

Try sending Ben@AJR (AJPwR) an IM; he should be able to give you a straight answer.

 

He will tell you the exact same thing...

 

Coo thanks Damn I posted this like 2 min ago and already 1000+ views guess spoon get teh mouse clicking huh

 

I didn't mean it as any disrespect to you

 

Hahaa..no no..it shouldn't even be taken that way.... smiles all the way!

 

mine grinds half the time i try and start my car
then i get all these looks from everyone around the car thinking it's busted or something

 

better swap it out before the teeth off your flywheel gets all chewed off....

believe it or not, chromo doesn't stand a chance against the adamantium or whatever the hell the starter teeth are made outta!

 

Listen to RagingAngel - he's right.

I had the Spoon flywheel with the Denso starter and it grinded. Now I have the Mitshebishi (sp?) one and it starts everytime.

 

Just modify the flywheel.
cheaper than buying a starter.
I did this with a few of the JUN/other steel flywheels and voila! no grind

 

What do you do to the flywheel to stop the grinding?

 

And more of an asspain for those who aren't mechanically gifted as you are.... I'd imagine you'd have to remove the flywheel to do that IF it was already installed....

Just trade up with an SiR/Si owner... and voila....his car now has a stronger starter.

To note, the Mitsuba is weaker when cranking and this was very evident when doing a compression test. Sounded like the car was lazy to turn over.

 

update: it is already here. all your spoon goodies are waiting at my place.

 

Yea baby just picked them up SPOONAGE
