New starter-motor

Hi, Im fitting an izusu trooper starter and have already thinned down the starter spacer to 5mm. Does anyone know if the starter ring gear needs to be turned round as the starter gear comes from the opposite side? Cheers, andy

I've never changed anything so far.  Just a bolt on it seems...YMMV

Sound!

Mine works fine with the ring gear the "wrong" way.  In my experience pre-engaged starters don't much care if there is a chamfer on the ring gear or not - unlike the inertia ones that have a very low hit rate without it......

Yep - do not change, it does not help on pre- engaged (I think it puts chamfer wrong side too - need to look at the bits).

I`ve just fitted it with a standard spacer machined down by 5mm and it works a like a beast! Sounds so much better faster, quieter turn over and no runnnuuuuunnnnnnuuunnnnn noises any more!
