Before I put my car away for the season it almost sounded like the starter was spinning when I tried to start the car. In the past any time I had a starter go out, I would get the tell tale clicking noise and would first replace the solenoid then the starter if necessary. Now it sounds like a couple cats fighing in a sack. Kind of a screeching, grinding noise. Is this just another sign of a bad starter? It is the factory original.
In late summer 08 I upgraded the clutch to a 10.5 cobra clutch with new 10.5flywheel. Went all year without any problems.
