hey guys,

half the time i start my 2003 z it makes a grinding noise as soon as i turn the key.. i read some stuff online suggesting it might be the teeth of the flywheel not lining up with the starter or something like that.. does anyone know how i can fix it? its pretty embarrassing lol

 

Questions:

1. Are you pushing your clutch pedal to the floor when starting your car?

2. Does this car have the original factory clutch?

It could be a bad bendix drive on your starter. Pull it and have it checked. You can check the flywheel gear at the same time by having someone slowly turn the engine with a wrench while you're looking at the teeth at the starter mount.

now it wont even start and this is the noise it makes..

if its the flywheel, how much do you think itll cost (parts+labor)
if its the starter,how much do you think itll cost (parts+labor)
