[82SC]

well after buttoning up my SC after the 964 cam swap...

then getting the mixture adj...smog check...general things here and there at TRE...car runs beautiful...

BUT...my starter looks like it is going south...

keeps running even when the key is in my pocket...
Thank God I have one of those quick disconnects on my battery...

if you don't have one...get one...my starter could melt itself to the ground if I didn't have one...

Well the starter looks old so I am assuming it is the original unit...but I think I made the problem worse when I started the car up after the cam swap...I had to crank the engine to get the oil pressure up...then ran into non-start issuse and may have gotten too aggressive with the starter...

Callas Rennsport suggested I get a new starter when I had the PPI done 1.5years ago...didn't know if this was $$ driven or if the starter really was shot...oh well...it is shot now...

so what to do...should I swap it out and get the rebuilt ones??
or spend a little more and get the hi-torque ones???

or anyone have a good used unit sitting around??

just wanted to get some feed-back from those who have been down this path before...

Also do I need to do a partial drop? Full Drop? or be a german contortionist to get the old starter off??
