FYI, when I did my 4.44 4EAT swap I used the forester TQverter and flex plate with the stock SVX starter.


But yeah back on track, tap on your starter with a brass drift, or something that isnt going to do damage to the case, but is enough to give it a good shock. If it seems to start sooner, or with less clicks replace the starter. If smashing on it doesn't seem to help, then I'd look at the ignition switch for a problem.

All 4eat starters are the same....
