My car is making a loud clanky noise when I try to start it. Someone told me last night it sounded like my starter was going out, but my friend told me that the bolts in it might not be tightened down good, and it is making the same noise his car did when the bolts on his starter werent tightened in good. The starter was just replaced in october 03 when the engine was rebuilt. Comments?

The starter is bolted to the transmission bell housing. I recall you just had some transmission work done? They might not have gotten everything tightened up all the way. I'd look there first.
