i just bought a 1986 2.9, 5 speed fm145 trans, 4x4, with starter problems. the starter grinds every time I try to start it. from what I read, this is a common problem. my flywheel is new and I'm on my second starter both new. second one I put a 10 tooth gear in it which did not fix the problem. I ovaled the bolt hole on the top so I can move the starter closer to the starter and still nothing. I have no idea what else to do! I really really need this fixed ASAP!!! thanks in advanced!!
