Give us some history. Did this suddenly happen? Was the starter overhauled ?Is there oil on the spiral?

Yes starter was built. I can't get the drive to unengage. It's spun in. It spins but does not engage the flywheel. I have tried all I know to do.

Jeff , Can you send a picture of the starter and the starter bendix?

Yes I will

Hear is a photo of the starter

Yes oil on the spiral

Here are photos

Jeff, The bendix pictured is NOT correct for your starter. The gear teeth will not retract far enough to disengage from the flywheel. It will be a screeching racket. Worse you will play havoc getting it removed from your car. The origional one is much shorter. Call me if you need help getting a correct one. 704 792 911zero.

This is the old bendix. I was having same type problem with it.

Jeff, That is still not the correct one either.

Did you find a bendix

Yes

You do know that the big drive in your picture is wrong and is also mounted wrong. The smaller one looks like a hydro starter drive and should be mounted the other way also. I'm guessing you have a standard tranny.

You might be able to get the 2 drives fixed by mounting them correctly and tapping the starter with 6v (off the car)
