NOTE:
Vehicles are designed for starter mounting without shims. A single shim or double shims may have been added to correct a noise or engagement condition. Clearance shims .039" (1.0 mm) thick are available in 3 different shapes. When installing starter, any previously installed shims should be replaced in original location to ensure proper pinion to flywheel clearance.
