Guest Anonymous Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 I was wondering who on this forum uses a gear reduction starter on Z's that dont use them stock. I replaced mine with a gear reduction starter from my friends 280zxt and it worked ok untill just the other day. I turned the key and the engine turned over for less than 1 second and the starter just spooled up. I then switched back to my stock 260 starter and it only grinds. Are both starters bad or is my car unable to use a gear reduction starter. Ps: Both starters worked fine until I switched them.

Mike C Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Sounds like connection problems or switch. Troubleshoot your battery cables, grounds, and the ignition switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 provided your battery cables are tight and in good condition ( no swelling or corrosion ). It sounds like you have two used parts with similar problems. What you need is a rebuilt/remanufactured one. I highly reccomend the gear reduction variety. I have used one for years on my 260 it works great and it weighs less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
