Hey guys! i have come to the forums in sheer desperation!
the story starts like this..
Got up this morning to go down to the shops for the usual bread and milk only when i got in the car i turned the key and all i hear is the starter motor spin but nothing else.
Tried this a few times but with the same result every time.
So i get out my trusty hammer and gives the starter a few love taps then go back to try again.. same thing.. checked solenoid and all connections still nothing. starter will spin but not engage the flywheel.
Out of sheer desperation i rock the car back and forth and try again BINGO!! she starts!
now my heart sinks realizing that my problem is very likely the flywheel missing teeth or worn out. Could this be the only cause for my problem or could it possibly be something else? something a little less expensive lol.
Car is an 01 TJ magna exec Auto.
any help would be greatly apreciated!
