Starter problem.........
I just replaced my starter bendix. Started the A up and it started and ran like champ...... Then I thought I would pull it out of garage and change the oil. As soon as I put in the clutch it started knocking like crazy, when I let off of clutch noise goes away. What did I do wrong. Please any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Re: Starter problem.........
Possible throw out bearing? Might be just a co-incidence.

Re: Starter problem.........
If that noise just started, did you put the starter bolts in the proper locations? They are different.

Re: Starter problem.........
I agree with Patrick. Another question might be are the bolts the correct length? They may be hitting the flywheel when you put in the clutch and push the flywheel forward slightly.

Re: Starter problem.........
Just checked all the bolts, seem they are all the same length. Will put shorter ones in and see if that works.

Re: Starter problem.........
A-20904 is the number for all 3 starter bolts and is 3/8-16 x 1" long.
Look at the end of the 3 bolts to see if any has rub marks. |

Re: Starter problem.........
My Father taught me always to note where you take screw/bolts from and return them to very place.. A good practice.

Cereal boxes make good holders for bolts. I just jab a bunch of slits in the box and poke the bolts in. This is also how I paint them. |

Re: Starter problem.........
Speaking of different length bolts, years ago my wife had a '61 Rambler, 6 cyl, OHV, rebuilt engine. After a couple of years the head gasket started leaking, internally. Pulled the head to replace the gasket, clean the pistons, rering and etc. That engine had 3 different length head bolts and they were mixed up, some weren't even touching the head when they were "tight".
