WTB: Mk2 turbodiesel starter

[damac]

Threw on a mk3 tdi starter I had laying around, spun a little faster, but still not good enough, so I  ordered a bushing. Unfortunately nobody local had it, and the ones that could get it, it would be a couple weeks out, so I ordered from parts place.

These don't use the bushing right guys?  Sounds like you have a wiring/battery problem.

Those are what I use in my cars now after a member on the forum told me about them and sold me one.  Call me crazy as I never looked up specs but they have performed awesome for me.  I simply don't get slowdowns with a stock sized battery if I cranked for 10 seconds.  I never have to do that though since my cars are tuned.

The tdi manual transmission starters use a bushing. The automatics do not. I have a manual trans starter. I ordered a bushing from the stealership, just waiting for it to come in now. Can't believe nobody in Nebraska has it in stock.

Strange, my 02A starter definitely does not have a bushing. Neither the old one I returned as a core nor the new Bosch reman I got had the bushing style snout.
