bad start, bad nightmare... man, those suck when they go bad

it will start off not wanting to crank until a few tires, then will progressivily get worse


the thing that goes wrong with starters a lot is that the bendiction clutch inside of them goes bad


what does it sound like when you try to start and it doesnt?
It sounds like its trying to start, but it doesnt.. haha. But really, the starter is spinning fine i think, it sounds strong, but its just not firing on the 1st try, it takes 2 or three long attempts to turn over.
