Well, its been awhile since the last post on my 97 altima 5 speed
Me and My mechanic pal replaced the clutch(also my left axel{boot was ripped}was installed)I learned alot about my car epecially since it took us 10 straight hours lol.Anyhow I drove her away with a brand new clutch and front end(I replaced the other axel about 3 months ago). She drove like never before.
The car started fine for 1 day and now will not start unless rolled or If I can reach and its not raining tap the solenoid on the starter.
I figure my solenoid on the starter is done.
Since I can't afford the starter right now (190 + 60 core) I bought a
chiltons , multimeter, sandpaper, and some electric systems degreaser(which is making me into a noob mechanic)
Anyhow, I was wondering if If I should get the OEM starter rebuilt?
From what I've read in the forum(and I've read alot lately)
starters aren't very reliable rom 3rd party manufacurers.
I would get the starter bench tested but i don't have a jack and can't really get to it unless the car is lifted
I'm convinced I've isolated it to the starter.
(I haven't used the meter yet to be sure)
This thread started as my clutch cylinder not engaging and replacing my clutch yet the starter was bad (not clicking or turning over) alongside my slipping clutch. I'll write another post when I have the starter
working/replaced.
I hope this post helps someone out there down the road, no pun intnd.
