So heres the story, leaving work i went to start my car, it began to start but i let go of the key too soon so it started to die and i quickly (perhaps too quickly for everything to disengage and reset) turned the key again and the thing has been would make a very loud grinding sound like gears grinding. At the time i was kinda forced to just keep trying in spite of that noise and got it to start and i was hoping everything would be fine after that but i tried to start it last night and its just making the grinding sound and not turning over. I think i know what it is but Im hoping someone can confirm my suspicions.

 

I wonder if you munched teeth on starter, or worse, on flywheel.

 

sounds about right. start with the...err....starter. If its the flexplate/flywheel, you may want consider options as your probably looking at 1500$

 

Not a hard job to do actually if you have any experience mechanicing.

A transmission jack/motorcycle jack makes job super easy just unbolt housing to tranny underneath and leave all tranny bolts in their place and use jack to slide the tranny back a few inches so you can reach up there and unbolt flywheel. There's alot less mess than pulling motor out lot less to put bk in place!

 

have you tried it on a stan dard trans?

 

Well doesn't exactly make that easy when. You have the clutch involved...
