Help:TH400 LS1 Starter Problems I put a TH400 in my car this year and I bought a TCI flexplate from LS1speed specifically for a LS1 TH400. I bought a brand new stock starter and when I try to start the car it just grinds. I tried shimming the starter and it made it worse. I am not sure if I am supposed to use a different starter or what I should do. If anybody can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. PM me or post on here or email me direct at tmorales@wfwhelan.com
Thanks.

are you sure its the starter grinding on it? have you tried turning the motor by hand? i had to grind down the converter bolts when i installeed that flywheel cause they were hitting some bolts on the rear enginecover.

For some reason I had to shim the starteron the outside bolt. It was weird because I ahve never had to do that before but I had to this time. It works now so that is all that matters.
Thanks.
