I ordered a used OEM starter for about $60. Because of time restraints and school, I finally got it replaced this past Friday and it works perfect now. The starter isn't sticking to the flywheel when starting now.
New starter (Bosch) (Late 2017)
some starters may have a resistor bypass connection.. that when the solenoid plunger is pulled in.. the R terminal is connected to cranking battery power.. this wire is hooked to the coil positive.. where the other wire to the coil positive comes thru a resistor.. this allows the coil to get higher voltage while cranking.
So, after a fun summer and fall of some great worry free driving something came up.... it wouldn't start properly. So naturally I took the battery to advanced auto parts to test it, it worked fine and passed, then tested the starter, and was reading a bit slow, can't quite remember the cranking speed but it was in the low 100's RPM. So after days of having to pop start the car, yes I know.... poor clutch! I got a brand new REMAN Bosch starter, and installed it. For the next two days it started just fine
The only thing I have had to replace on the car since I bought it was a starter.
The starter is a Bosch premium re-manufactured unit and tested good before I put it in.
After testing, 14.8 v at the starter when cranking is better than the .7 volt drop before! and now there's no battery drain!
Yes - works great, spins the engine so easy. And no stupid bearing to mess with to boot.
The starter is a rebuilt BOSCH which I stated above.
Go for the reman Bosch. They should call it Neverlast or Durajunk
