Reply to "Procedure to break in rebuilt transaxle"

So many of us have done that. A friend in Beaufort, SC, bought the 37 Hudson from the movie "The Notebook" and had the exact same starter issue. He bought a very nice 3# hammer at Sears and had a special place for it so he could grab it, get under the car and give the starter a good smack.

Worked every time but we eventually pulled the starter and had it rebuilt. There was some carbon scoring on the armature in one spot and if that spot landed at the electrical brushes - she no go.
