How to heat sheild a starter
After reading several post about replacing a starter, I think I'd be prudent to try something else befor I tackle that job on my 84 300d.
My problem is that after the car heats up the starter does not want to turn over. I have to turn the key about 15 times to get it to start again. each of the 15 times I hear a click then finnaly it will start. When it does start it does not drag but fires right up. Ihad hoped to replace it but the horror stories I have read about the top bolt make me shudder. Anway, someone suggested that clean the contacts and put a heat sheild around the starter so the manifold will not heat it up as much. Anyone have any ideas about how to go about this. Any pointers about which contacts I should clean? Is this just a waist of my time, and I should bite the bullet and pay to have the starter changed? |

That's typical of burned solenoid contacts. The starter motor is probably fine, just the solenoid is bad. But a new solenoid usually costs more than a reman starter.
