Having starter issues after 5mt swap
Has anyone had problems with the starter after 5mt ('98 Legacy GT) swap? I was told it needs shims, but where do I find them or what is the fix?

Re: Having starter issues after 5mt swap
What issues are you having? Is it not engaging etc? Also what starter are you using?

Re: Having starter issues after 5mt swap
Shimming a Subaru starter would have no effect, it's not a Chevy starter, it bolts straight in, not straight up like on a V-8, so I don't know what kind of issue you are having without further info.....you did get a Manual Trnasmission starter right?, the old 4EAT one will not work on the manual.

Re: Having starter issues after 5mt swap
Sometimes it starts and other times it doesn't. If it won't start, all I have to do is push it a little and pop it in gear. Then it'll start right up. It's a starter for a '98 Legacy GT.

I'm using a starter for a '98 Legacy to match the trans I put in.

Re: Having starter issues after 5mt swap
Sounds like one of a few problems, first flywheel teeth may be worn in a few spots the starter can not grab on them, 2 a tooth on the starter is bad, or 3 the armature in the starter has a bad area.

Re: Having starter issues after 5mt swap
Does it continue to make clicking noises while not turning over? If so, the issue can be fixed by the relay mod.
