Starter Shims 89 Wrangler
I bought a new starter for my 89 Wrangler. In the box was a bulletin stating that Jeep Wranglers up to 1994 requires a .015 shim. Wranglers after 1994 requires a .042 shim. My first question is; has anyone heard about adding shims to Jeep Wranglers and is it required for all Jeep Wranglers? My second question is; how do I know if I even need shims?

Re: Starter Shims 89 Wrangler
I haven't worked on an 89 Wrangler but normally if the Bendix sticks a shim is needed. As the gear goes into the flywheel and hangs up a shim is needed.
If a shim is used on the starter you took out use it if it was working properly. |

Re: Starter Shims 89 Wrangler
I'm having the same issue on an '87 yj. Second starter in 6 months. The starter gears are grinding off and appears only 1/4" of starter gear is engaging with the flywheel. I was going to try shims, but have no idea.
If anyone has any suggestions I would much appreciate it. |

Re: Starter Shims 89 Wrangler
Try an .015 shim and if the bendix sticks occasionally add another one.
