Where is the location of starter and the fly wheel

There is no way the ring gear will hit the starter pinion unless the fly wheel bolts on the crank shaft or loose allowing the flywheel to run out of true. If you have had clutch/ rear seal work done lately the fly wheel will only fit in one position and if that was ignored at some time then the fly wheel will run out and touch the starter pinion.. I would also check the adjustment on the starter pinion as it has to be set by the lever pivot to a correct distance or it will touch the teeth of the ring gear

Sounds like the starter is going bad it is located on the engine no pun intended . The starter will be located where the engine and the transmission come together that is called the bell housing. The starter starts the car by way of the fly wheel dont worry you cant see the fly wheel just a little FYI. If you change it your self make sure to unhook the battery first to prevent a spark.

It is either a bad starter or a bad fly wheel. What happens is the teeth of one or the other wear down. If you are turning the starter several times and it finally starts then you have a bad spot on your fly wheel. One way to check is to pull out the starter and look at the teeth on it. If it is your fly wheel it should be replaced but you will have some time. As the wheel turns you will probably not hit the bald spot on it that often.

STARTER UNDERNEATH CAR LOOK WHERE FLYWHEEL LOCATED YOU WILL SEE STARTER AT FLY WHEEL COVER. STARTERS CAN COST FROM $100.00 OR LITTLE MORE.BUT CALL AROUND GET A PRICE CHECK.

the starter is located at the bottom rear of the engine, u access it from under the truck.

The starter should be located under the exhaust manifold on the front of engine. Since it is a front wheel drive, the front of engine is the side near radiator. Slide under front end and look up. That is where it should be located.

under the front of the car right behind the radiator, its silver and about twice the size of a pop can, you can replace it with out taking out anything to get to it, its just a *****

The starter is mounetd to the bottom of the engine either left or right of the fly wheel..
Look for the fly wheel.. Really big round gear.. The starter spinns that big gear & turns the motor..
Good luck..
Rate me good ;o)

You need to get under the front end of the truck - safely...
To the left or right of the fly wheel.. The fly wheel is a realy big round gear..
The starter will be mostly sylinder shape..
Should be easy to find..

 you need a shim, if its screaming your clearance is to great. Are you positive its the right starter?
