Beefman,
thanks for the reply....
when you engage the starter, does it automatically align the teeth....I am just worried about chipping one off the torque converter....
thanks,
Mark

I have bolted on at least a hundred of these starters... it will never chip the ring gear...ever. unless you have the wrong starter. The shape of the retractable drive unit is such that it meshes with the ring gear perfectly and automatically, so no need to line anything up. This is one of those rare times where reading the manual literally can cause some confusion. If this was a Cheby, you would have issues like shimming and number of teeth... not so on Mopars.

OK thats good, I asked only because sometimes with the newer style mini starter's you need to do some wiggling to fit right. But a stock one should be a bolt right in deal.
