Thanks..I have already been down that road trying three different starters (all brand new).. I tried all different size shims, moving the starter in out using the pinion spacers, measured everything to a T and specs per each starter, measured the pinion tooth to flex plate gap mesh within specs and it still did it...Thats why i am at a lost what it could be and that is when MSD told me it was a voltage issue since it is intermittent....The switch wiring is the only thing I have not tried so that is why i was leaning that way. I like KennyD's idea to try the starter with the coned end to see if it helps since they are not the expensive ot give it a whirl. Lord knows I have bought the Hi Torque starters from low end to a high expensive one and that didnt help at all...
On the previous flexplate I noticed it always hit in a certain area on the plate we noticed by bumping the motor over. The strter never got in a stuck position but would just hit the flex plate and not go in to the grooves of the teeth. That is why i replaced it thinking there was an issue but it still did it but not as often. Keep in mind these are all brand new parts and not used stuff...That is what is driving me crazy!!!
