ok so heres the deal...I have an 87 mustang 5.0
whenever my battery died in the past....I have always been able to start it after a bit of charging, however if the battery was not putting out enough juice...instead of the car starting you would hear a grinding sound coming from the starter...I never really thought much of it except that the battery wasn't putting out enough....so sometimes I would pop start the car instead...
now the past 3 months the car's battery has been dying and been very low...and I usually had to use a jump pack to get it going or jump start it....well the last time that I went to start it..it was COMPLETELY dead....no juice at all....so I used the jump pack and no matter how long I kept charging the battery, the starter would keep grinding and grinding...
So my next attempt was to run another car side by side with it and using jumper cables. I ran it for about 10 minutes... and tried again.. still nothing
I gave up and called my mechanic..he suggested that either the fly wheel or the starter is bad, so he told me to put the car in 3rd gear and move the car forward a foot and try again...so I did and no difference
I can't pop start because I'm too close to a cliff
he also said that he is going to need remove the transmission or motor to get to the starter...anyone have advice?
