While I was working on the car in the garage over the winter I noticed that it was making a grinding noise every now and again when I attempted to start it. I was told by a friend that is sounded like flex plate issue and I'd need to check it out this summer before I got to driving it more regularly.
Well I just finished up my steering column rebuild the other day and decided it was time to start driving. I'm kind of getting a late start on my summer driving. Anyway, now about evey 10-12 times I go to start I just hear a clicky-clunky sound. It's almost sounds as if something is binding. If I sit there and try to start the car over and over and over, eventually it kicks over and starts. I won't have probems with it starting again for another 10-12 starts and then it's back to the same thing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should check. Does this sound like a starter problem, flex plate, or other?
Any help you can give me is appreciated.
Thanks in advance, TC
