Same exact thing I thought. Really don't trust the reman. It may look brand new, but it's probably brand busted

If its no good,you are already there to get another.
That will be my recommendation to J today when he gets up to work on the car, going to have him look at the clutch pedal switch piece though. We already replaced that plastic piece on his 4 door B13 within the last two months. Didn't think to look at that.

You can actually get down near the pedal and press it in and see if it engages that little switch if that plastic piece is missing then I'd just make something as a replacement. I duct taped a penny temporarily works great now starts every time and i now have a spare starter.
I'll have him look at this today, thanks. We had this piece snap in half in his 4 door a while back (see above)

Another good idea.
