K..that's the starter I got today. But. I'm still having the same problem...starter ring maybe? Cause my bellhousing part number is 944 116 401 2R and that's a turbo part number if I'm correct

sorry to lead you in wrong direction. if you have the right starter and bell housing then im going to have to say its the ring gear/ flywheel. u may want to get someone elses input.

lol...is that going to be a trip. I just put the damn motor in. Well if that is the issue then it has to be done. Just wish I was able to drive it before the winter came, I miss the performance of a real car

Sounds like you know what you are doing if you made it this far with a swap so I'm sure this is very frustrating to you.

yea...everything on the motor is from an 87' besides the bellhousing. The starter gear is hitting the face of the starter ring and it's grinding the very edges of the teeth. It seems like it wants to fit but the clearance is only off by a tad. It is very frustrating but thats life for you. Plus, these ain't mustangs or civics we're dealing with here. I recall someone saying that the starter rings are different because of the tooth count on them. I got my starter ring from Azmi951, I'm pretty positive its a turbo starter ring but I sent him a Pm to just make sure it was. There is nothing really else to diagnose because the components are pretty straight forward.

true, I do remember having a little trouble with the guide pins but I made sure it when on smooth. Tomorrow I'm going to check everything out again and make sure I'm not overlooking something like a misaligned BH. Its so funny because you have no clue how close the starter gear is from actually grabbing the starter ring. I honestly am going to measure the distance because I don't even think its an 1/8 in. off.

Ok...I'm still having this starter problem. I bought a new starter and all and I've just about had it with this problem. The part numbers are all correct and I honestly don't understand why it is grinding up against the starter ring?
