The car is all back together but...the starter will spin but not engage. So I pull the starter and check it on the battery. The starter engages fine. I checked the part numbers for the clutch and flywheel and they match for a 2.4. Everything was torqued to specs. I'm dirty, tired and mentaly spent. What did I miss? Is there another "safety" somewhere. Any help would be great.

Seems like a pattern	did you match the numbers on the clutch itself to the numbers on the invoice, or the box? do the starters on these engines need shimmed?

I didn't see any shims when I pulled the starter but that doesn't mean that there should be some. I'll take some measurments this weekend. Just a thought, if you put a larger gear on the starter, will it mesh?

A flywheel for a GSX or will not meet your starter. (past experience) Is it OEM or aftermarket?
