I thought I replied, maybe sent it to you personally…the clocking does not alter how it’s centered as it’s not concentric. The alternative positions are for aligning the stater/solenoid body along side the engine. Thanks.

I had a situation last year where my 9t starter ate my 121t ring gear. I replaced the ring gear, and had the starter motor shaft peened for a tighter tolerance. Testing this w/o the Audi transaxle in place, it appears to me this won’t last either judging by how it’s biting. It appears to want...

Its been a garage princess to be sure haha. Hopefully will see some road use next year ;)
