Just put a new starter in today and it shrieks when I start the car but just for a second then goes away. Any ideas? Old starter never shrieked and didn't have shims so I'm lost. Any ideas?

Rebuild starters are a 50/50..

I would exchange it...

I had a bad time with starters during compression testing..

had went thru 4 of them if not more..

during bench test on returning most passed on first try but if tested again and again they would start to fail..
