Just replaced my clutch but my starter chewed up from the flywheel and the dust shield also.
Having almost the same issue now and about to give up on the Dyi idea after all this.
Got everything back together and my nice clean flywheel is now chewed up from my starter. Also the flywheel now when running is rubbing the new straight shield. When i turned it back over it scrapped the dust shield and then sounded like it took out the starter.
All the bolts are in the right place, and everything. Starter is trashed. It started chunky then I heard a big chunky noise and cut it off. Teeth are chewed off the starter and flywheel is a bit chewed up.
What am I doing wrong?!?.. I don't have the money to take it to a shop. It's my DD and right now I'm screwed. Any ideas
Re Cap..
1) Had problem with flywheel scrapping my dust shield when pressing the clutch pedal in and grinding into the starter.
2) Replaced clutch, resurfaced flywheel from a 89 yj, new slave, and new dust shield.
3) starter ate it on flywheel. Took teeth off and flywheel is still going into my dust shield and not just when I press the clutch in.
