I guess the issue is the starter gear which according to a post: " The setup i've seen is a bit odd in that it uses two ring gears (one to engage the starter and the other 964 part is used as a spacer), "

If that starter you have in the picture works why not just have that one rebuilt?

HDA

Because that starter does not work with the bell housing that I have.

looking at pictures on autozones site you have to have an 1989 starter https://www.autozonepro.com/results/...requestid=6706

Thanks - although I could not follow the link.

Anyhow let's recap for future kids that will look into this forum for that obsolete vehicle that actually requires the driver to drive that their granpa left them and are unaware of how it operates .

This is my starter from my 1992 964.


The problem is that when mounted on my other G50 box, which has a 87-89 housing, the shafts hangs out free like my xxxx under the shower. You can see on the far left in the picture below.



The correct starter for this bell housing is this one below, which obviously is too short for the 964 clutch and flywheel pack - but it works fine on the 3.2's.
Notice the end structure to hold the shaft in place.




So, yeah, need to find a way to hold that shaft up on my old, original 92 starter..

wallra

go to autozone site and punch in 1989 Porsche 911 starter 16426 that starter is what you need.

HDA

So, wallra, I bought one based on your comment (and my approximate judgment on the measurements) - arrives tomorrow. If it works I will be sending you a 6-pack of your favorite beer. I am not joking.

HDA

Nope - no beer wallra.

It's OK I don't drink any way! I tried for you

Curious: People have mentioned tapping on the starter motor to get it working again...
Which part of the starter do you tap on when you have starter issues. The bigger black cylinder or the smaller one?


Edit: Thanks for the answer Rob!

Tap on the small part. Its the solenoid. Think of it as a big relay. They tend to get sticky over time.

I will give them a call later today...

Strange that you had the same issue since yours is a G64...

You should be able to mount an additional (older style from MY89) starter ring gear on the front of the pressure plate?
