corrected Problems with the mini torque starter

hello everybody a couple of months ago i bought a mini torque started and it was sitting on the flywheel once you bolted it up so i took it off and put thre shims on the starter and so far it works well hers a pic!

this is what it looks like when it is bolted up from the top!

The main thing with setting up a mini starter is getting it within specs for the distance from gear to the flexplate and also the gear mesh clearance, mine is .030 so I use a piece of .030 mig wire to verify, hopefully you have done this since just shimming can cause other issues later on.

yeah i did check the pinion with a wire and a paper clip clearance is good.
