Thread: VE starter question

So I am finishing up my VE swap and I just wanted to make sure it was OK to use the VE starter with a manual tranny (the VE was originally auto). It looks like the VE starter has one more tooth than my DE starter, 9 vs 8. VE starter bench tests perfect and the DE works every time but squeals sometimes (super annoying).

Sorry for the newb question haha

But! i do Believe! that you need to use a longer bolt with a nut to use the ve starter.. or atleast i'd have to on the 2 i got..

i think i did use one at one point in time on my gf's g20 but it gave out..

yes indeed or a friend of mine just threaded the starter with the same thread and bolt it uses originally but that requires more work. But works!

i couldnt do that because the hole was to big and i would have had to drill the bellhousing an use a bigger bolt..

ohh i didn't knew that he just told me he threaded it and problem solved, he maybe did he's just a crazy wild man...lol
i just avoided all of that and used the DE starter it is in good working condition so why throw it away

The easiest thing to do is use a longer bolt with a nut just like the factory.
