Will not crank over

Hello,

This is the Bendix gear on your starter not engaging the flex-plate (flywheel is for a manual transmission) on your engine. In the diagrams down below I have included the factory instructions for the removal and installation of your vehicle's starter motor. Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out, or how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank You so very much, I cannot do this my myself. I am sending it to mechanic shop for testing and replacement. Thanks again.

It sounds like the starter need to be replaced are the battery is low on charge/bad. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
