ok i have an '85 bronco II with a 2.8 v6 and for the past couple of years ive been having problems with the starter which didnt start until i replace the automatic transmission for a 5 spd manual and since then ive been having my problems with the starter ive already replaced the starter 6 times put on a new flywheel and replaced the positioning plate but once again sure enough the problem returned each time 
but the one thing i notice though was that if i pushed the starter as close to the engine i could get it and bolt it down it wouldnt grind until the third or fourth time i tried to start it again when it moved from where i had it and ive tried riggin it up to make it stay but nuthin i do will work does anyone have any suggestion or idea what the actualy problem could be i have asked friends that i know that have had bronco 2's in the past and they said it did the same exact thing for them

There is a ten tooth bendix that you can buy for a Escort that will go into the Ranger/Bronco II starter but darned if I remember the year and model Escort it had to come from. If I recall it was VERY specific about the model. Maybe somebody else on here remembers it?
