- All of this talk about starter solenoids has gotten me thinking about a problem I've been having with my 1974 TR6. Here's the description: For some months now when I first start my car I sometimes he

- << Just what does the solenoid do anyway? >> The solenoid is a relay switch. The smaller wires from your ignition switch, operate an electromagnet, which connects the heavy lead from the battery with

- It's your flywheel. The ring gear and the flywheel are two separate pieces on a TR6. Each time your starter engages it hits the ring gear and pushes it a tiny amount away from the starter. Eventually

- If you are really hearing a grinding noise when you activate the starter, then it could be a problem with worn teeth on the flywheel ring gear or the starter pinion gear. If you're lucky the problem

- Joe : It's different on different TRs, hence the previous answer wasn't quite right for your car. On a TR6, the starter solenoid first moves the starter gear into engagement with the flywheel, and th

- My vote is for the bendix. I had the same problem on my TR6. I removed the starter and took it to the local alternator/starter repair shop. $60 later I had a clean, repainted, perfect starter and no

- Steve, I hope the prior posters were or are correct with their diagnosis of a bad bendix, but I had another experience. I had a similar sound that would pop up occasionally. I hoped it was the starte
