So, after further conversation with Merc Cruzer, I think that there is a chance that out of the three Bendix's that I have they are all excessively worn and or incorrect. I cleaned them up and they do not spring back as they should. When the starter is bolted in the car, the Bendix is already engaged with the ring gear halfway if not more. Anyone know of someone who rebuilds Bendix's. Because the guy who rebuilt my starter was lacking in that department. I have looked into purchasing another Bendix and after looking for a replacement they have stopped making them except for one place which is the same part number as the new one I received that doesn't work.
