Re: IML: Another 1961 Question on the Fly(wheel)

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

You may have teeth missing on your flywheel (hard/expensive to fix), or you may have a defective starter/Bendix drive (easier/cheaper to fix).

They disabled your parking brake??? Sounds like a shop that the rest of us need to stay away from.
