Starter squeals when being turned over every now and then.
So I've noticed lately that my starter will squeal, and sound like its binding some (enough that the crank "noise" slows down), every now and then. Not every crank. Just randomly. Sometimes two or three times in a row, sometimes a few days in between. Whats the deal guys? Starter has been replaced in the past 3 years or so.

We were wondering about the brand (and warranty) seeing as how the price range can go from like $75 to over $200..If it's a cheap one u might want to just scrap it and get another but rebuilding is a good option if was a more costly one..fix or repair sooner than later otherwise the $$ will go to the tow man 1st...plus getting stranded sux!

Make sure all of the torque converter bolts are in place and properly torqued. Inspect the gear on the drive plate -- if you've got partially shorn gear teeth it'll scream like a banshee, but only if it's on those partially shorn teeth that the starter nose gear first engages. After that, disable the ignition and watch the drive plate as the starter turns it through at least a complete revolution. If the plate is untrue such that the outer edge appears to move fore and aft, that's a problem to be corrected -- before it eats the transmission front pump, which it eventually will.
