To Re... Or NOT to Re. That is the question

[Baha (Shawn)]

So the engine is out... I'll never have better access...



Do I replace the (working perfectly) Starter, Trans Seal & Throw-out Bearing???

[kvbug (karen)]

Do you foresee needing to do it soon anyway?

[6T5 square]

just think of how aggravating it will be to have to take it all apart because you didn't want to do it now.

Dont forget to vote in the poll up top!

I can't vote because my option's not listed..

You should replace the Clutch Pack, Throw out Bearing and Bushing etc while at this point..

If the Starters working Ok you can get at it later. 

BTW if you get stuck I have New Clutch Pack kits on hand. But then again I have most of what You'd need.   :confused04:;

I fixed the poll so you can vote

[lovebus (jack)]

Replace everything you can while its out. New starter, not rebuilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3Gear]

Lets add some more thought to this, why not do the better engineered New Gear Reduction starter from go westy??

[Baha (Shawn)]

Will take Jay's advice and not replace the starter at this time.

3Gear... That starter is a modified racing starter and absolutely designed for the gotta-hav-its who are building "monster" rigs.



I will not fall into that trap. My stock starter will be fine until such time as I can afford one of these really cool accessories necessities.  whistleegi

Yeah.. I probably will... Jay is da man! Da Van Man


He probably has 2 of the fancy-schmancy GoWesty starters too  thumpup)-

[Bob(Herbie)]

Shawn,
If the flywheel is good and the starter works, leave them. Do the rest because it is maintenance that is only accessible with the engine out!  2@cent

[Baha (Shawn)]

That's what Jay said.

Great minds think alike

Late to the show, but I'll throw in my .02 anyway.

I also voted for "Clutch Pak, Throw out & Seal", but it really depends on how old the starter is. If it's original, or close to it, replace it. If it's newer then I'd leave it.

As far as the other things that only have access when the engine is out it's a no-brainer -- replace. It's like going to all the trouble of replacing a timing belt and not swapping out the water pump while right there. You just KNOW it's gonna start to leak the week after you bolt it all back together.
