starter problems

took my trans. outa my bug 2 put a new 1 in.i put the starter in the new one and its starts grinding and makin all kinds of stupid noises.took it out put a new brass bushing in.now it makes a loude buzzing noise while grinding.it will start the car but i would like to know if anybody knows wat it cud be. thanx, skunk

swing axle? IRS? 6V? 12v? is it just when you crank it, or all the time while running? how do the teeth look? are allt he bolts tightened down? Once, i didn't line up the D bolt right, and tightened it, and it vibrated till it fell into place and lossened up, causing my starter to make all kinds of funny noises. maybe post a youtube vid of the car making the noise.

try an auto matic starter thats the best thing since sliced bread

true that. It's really sounding like the starter itself, especially if its actually starting the motor. yank the starter out, and have it tested at any autoparts store, and see if it makes the noise on the machine.

most parts stores and starter shops cant test the starters with out a bell housing because of the pilot auto matic is the way to go
