starter motor noise

[randallbass]

hey guys,
i changed the battery in my ute the other day as it was on its last legs and got sick and tired of having to clutch start it every now and then lol.

ever since i changed the battery it sounds like the starter motor will try and throw itself out again after the car has started and its grinding on the flywheel.

its the right battery and its a quality one, i just cant see why it would be doing this....

any ideas??

cheers

Flogged starter solenoid (sticky/dirty contacts)? It can happen as its receiving a higher CCA from the new batt

ah k cool, definalty sounds about right.
is there anyway of fixing this? or is a new solenoid/starter on the cards??

ill get under it tomorro and make shore the wirings all connected and nothing looks out of place.

thanks mate
