Sigh... I think I'll have to change my flexplate to finally button up this topic. Had an event yesterday where I tried to start and heard the dreaded grinding sound. The bendix tried to engage into a spot on the flexplate that was already somewhat chewed up, couldn't grab it properly the first time, and chewed it up some more. So now I'm driving around with a 1" wrench to move the crankshaft manually as a backup ![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f602.png)
In other news, the HPG start switch is perfect and the exact model it should be. I've had it in for over 5 days and it's working exactly as it should be, perfect voltages, perfect movement, no stuck engagement, etc. I'll write another post at some point soon that aggregates/streamlines everything I've learned about these pesky switches, hopefully I can save some others from this hassle lol.
So far on my shopping list are:
- New flexplate
- New flexplate bolts (they're cheap enough)
- Transmission jack
Any tips on dropping the transmission would be appreciated![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
