Ever heard a grinding noise when installing a starter? In this quick, 90-second clip, you’ll learn what starter shimming is, why it’s sometimes required to eliminate that tell-tale grinding between the starter drive gear and your flywheel, and where to place the shims for perfect engagement. Plus, discover how Quality-Built starters come with the right shims in the box—ready to help you get the job done right the first time.
Starter shimming involves inserting thin metal spacers between the starter housing and engine block to correct the offset between the starter drive gear and the flywheel teeth. When the gear and flywheel aren’t perfectly aligned, you’ll hear a sharp grinding noise—an unmistakable sign that shims are needed.
For certain installations, these shims are essential to ensure smooth, reliable engagement and to prevent premature wear.
Quality-Built starters conveniently include the necessary shims in the box, making it easy to achieve the ideal starter-to-flywheel clearance every time.
