I took my starter off the other day because i thought it was bad then i checked my flywheel turning it, checking teeth, etc... and i noticed it wiggled a little bit in there. If i'm not mistaken the bolts are torqued to 70 lbs. so the flywheel shouldnt move at all in there should it? is this the reason my car just kinda grinds when i try to start and it doesnt start? Thanks a lot guys

 

I think it's 76lbs, but even if they are torqued to 70lbs it shouldn't move.

 

yeah there shouldnt be any play.

you might want to replace the bolts and use loctite. make sure the threads are clean of contaminant like grease/oil.

 

thanks for the help guys, appreciate it...

I didn't know the flywheel was 2 pieces til i ripped off my tranny. The teeth came separated from the disc then when i tried to start it was just spinnin the ring of teeth around the disc therefore not turning over.

Thanks again guys...
