FrozenJakalope Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Evening Start of the week I had the bright idea to change my gearbox from a C154 to a C52. Took a couple of days but it's all back together now and as far as I can tell the gearbox itself is working properly. My problem is with the starter, which seems to be permanently engaging the fly causing all kinds of horrible noises, not to mention smoke above 1.5k rpm. I didn't actually take the starter out of the car when I was changing the box, I just unbolted it and left it plugged in with the bigass ring connector held on by a 12mm bolt on the back of it. Is it fragile enough that that might have damaged it? And if not, any ideas what it could be? Cheers,Josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrozenJakalope Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 I might just buy a new starter and see if that helps. Least then I could rule out a fault in the motor itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrozenJakalope Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sorted, took the starter off and manually pushed it back with a prybar to reset the magnetic switch and its behaving itself again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
