daverclasper Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi everyone I have a Vitesse Mk1 2litre. My starter has recently started to make, a lounder, crunching noise when engaging (happens about 1 in 6 times). bit worried it is damaging the fly wheel ring gear and less importantly the starter pinion. Had gearbox out a month or so back. and both had very good teeth IMO, though not an expert. Starter securing bolts are not loose. Any advice as always, very much appriciated.

Pete Lewis Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 the bendix /helix probably needs a clean wash with petrol or safer brake cleaner , dont grease or oil it as this attracts clutch dust some pencil lead ground on sand paper makes a good dry lubricant Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
