| Post subject: | Starting problem |
Hi I’ve changed my old rubber puck type clutch for one of the new Sachs spring centre type on my 1990 944 S2. Having put everything back together I now find that the engine won't turn over. When I turn the key there is a clicking noise from the newly refurbished starter. It sounds like the starter drive gear is not engaging with the clutch/flywheel ring gear. This seemed to be confirmed by what looks like the leading point of the starter motor drive gears being ground off slightly. I have bench checked the starter motor and it appears to work properly. I have charged up the battery and even attached my booster pack but the same clicking noise is evident when I try to start the car. I can turn the engine over by hand with no problem. Does anyone have any idea what’s wrong? Many thanks Neil |

So a little bit of groping around tomorrow and I should be able to find the connection point. The only excuse I can offer is that having changed the clutch I noticed that the torque tube bearings were a bit noisy so I've changed them as well and it's been some time since I started this whole job.... Thanks Neil |

I have seen throttle and clutch cables ignite into flames when they provided the main earth |
