my crappy reman autozone starter was starting to crank slow intermitily cause its a reman autozone peice of junk so because i did not want to get stranded if it completely gave up i went to napa and bought a true brand new starter and installed it today and i went to crank the truck over to make sure it would work and it spins fast and the gear moves on the shaft cause i can hear it hit the flywheel but it wont engage to spin the engine over i tried tightening the bolts more and the same thing. i do not have a top bolt in it cause its impossible to get to but i have had it like that for almost a year and a half so i dont think thats the issue. the starter is the same shape and size as the old one. is it even possible to "clock" the starter differently since there is not slider holes and if i would be able to clock it differently would that fix it the issue?
