Ive gone through 2 remanufactured starters in the past 3 months and I believe it is just that the remanufactured parts are no good (you get what you pay for?) but I did notice there is a small amount of oil dripping on the starter. Could this cause problems with the starter? The first starter would just take 30-60 seconds of turning over and gas pedal pushing to get it started and I was unhappy with that so I returned it. Now the second one has died. I tapped the starter with a rubber mallet and had my friend start it up, worked ok, I drove it that day then the next day, it would turn over but REALLY sounded bad and would not start! I kept trying it and it sounded like metal clanking and scraping so I stopped after a minute. It sounded HORRIBLE, I was scared and didn't want to f#@k anything up on my car. I have heard millions of people talk about the horrors of remanufactured parts like alternators and starters and how you have to just keep returning them until you get a good one. What are everyones thoughts on my situation? I would really appriciate info.
