Do I need to place shims between the starter and motor? Or is the Starter bushings/bearings too tight?
Suggestions appreciated.

One year ago I had the same problem with my starter. I renew all cables and connections. But the same problem. The cables getting hot when try to start a few seconds. But the starter turned only very slow when motor is hot.
After this I checked the starter him selve.
There was bad oxidation between the aluminum head and the iron body. Also the two long bolts through the starter. So the starter have had bad ground problems.
After cleaning everything the starter runs as new.
Maybe this is also your problem?
