Re: [AMC-List] Starter alignment

[Steve Johnston <SJohn89715@xxxxxxx>]

You probably need to shim the starter out from the housing a bit.
Starter shims are available at any automotive parts shop. Some are
designed to be installed without removing the starter, just loosing the 
nuts, and sliding them in place. This is quite common. Just don't put
too many in, or you risk the opposite problem of the starter drive not
full engaging, and damaging ring gear teeth.  Steve Johnston.
