I get in my car to go home last night from work and as I'm starting the car I hear a loud thud. I turn the key again and all I hear is grinding from the starter/flywheel.
I figure the bendex drive on the starter is shot so I have 2 people "push start" the car for me, I pop the clutch in second and I'm able to get the engine running. I drive it home and get in on my lift.
Today I get around to unbolting the starter motor and to my surprise it's not what I thought it was. Turns out that both the ear tab on the starter motor and the threaded part of the block where the starter motor bolts to both cracked off. FML. Anyone else had this happen?
