Hey all, I have a 94 diamante 3.0 dohc - every time you go to start the car it grinds. I have replaced the convertor/flywheel twice, starter twice (last one was from the dealer) still grinds. I even replaced the transmission and conv/flywheel from a 95 diamante and it STILL grinds. Anyone have any thoughts on this? i have sunk alot of time and MONEY trying to cure this problem. Any thoughts would help ajsdad

I really need to start reading more
