my wife's 07 mustang v6 5spd.
randomly she goes to start it and it has plenty of power, so it's not an electrical issue. it makes this strange noise, not like it's trying to turn over from a weak battery etc, but a high pitched buzzing almost.
I've read this can be the little gear not engaging the flywheel properly and just spinning in place basically, which means bad starter.
anyway, i just go to put a new starter in and the same damn thing, it was oddly hard to get the bolts back in though, which concerned me, i thought it should be stupid proof to put the thing back in, but maybe i'm doing something wrong?
thoughts?
