Hi guys,

First off, I like to thank Jimmyhat for the starter he sold me to replace the one you see in the attached photo. Have any of you ever seen a start do this?? Keep in mind that i dont beat on my car...i might play a little from light to light if the urge strikes me, but that is the full extent of the abuse my car sees.
Close inspection of the flywheel showd no damage, just a shiny wear mark of aluminum on it. All I can say is that i'm glad i didnt waste anytime taking care of this problem or it could have gotten very messy.
