[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 436622, member: 19498"] I cant recall on a 258,been years, if you can actually see where the ring gear and starter teeth mesh but if you can something like a paper clip will do for the clearance needed in one ring gear tooth valley. Its not much but enough to prevent the binding that can occur. If you cant see in there try you tubing a video. In the 2.5 you cant see and the last one I replaced the install directions give you a paper that explains the sound you'll hear when to tight. Kinda lame but better than nothing. After 6 starters Id try another supplier if you haven't already and pay super close attention to setting the starter in place to see it it feels like its being held back the slightest bit from sitting 100% flat o the mounting spot. The starters should come with a shim for that purpose. They are something like 20th thick or so and one typically does the trick from my experience. [/QUOTE]
