I am replacing my starter and am deciding how to determine if it needs to be shimmed. The motor is out and the bellhousing is off, but even when mounting the starter I cant see around starter housing to see how it would engage, i also tried pulling the starter gear out while mounting to see how it meshes with flywheel but it just pops back in. is it designed to be bolted up and go? I thought now was the time to see if it needed anything else
