Could a starter that needs a shim make a weird noise when starting?
Yes, if the drive gears are going too far in toward the flywheel because a shim is missing, you will damage either the starter gears, flywheel, or both.

IF YOU HAVE NOTICE That when you turn the key foreward all your assy. come on. And then you have to turn it further to make the starter ingauge. So that is when the starter gear / drive contacts the flywheel.
Where is the starter located on a Honda metropolitan?

Should the starter gears be in contact with the fly wheel before engaging the starter?
Absolutely not. The starter gear must fully disengage the flywheel gears when you release the starter. Otherwise when the engine starts the starter will continue to be turned by the engine.

Your Chevy starter does not engage it spins but will not engage any suggestions It is a mini sbc starter.?
Could be the starter drive is not engaging or perhaps you're using the wrong holes for your flywheel. If you have a 153 tooth ring and have the starter in the 168 tooth position, the gears would not mesh. Did it ever start? if it did ,most likely the starter drive is broken, or the pinion ,or flywheel are stripped of their teeth. Bendix is broken, Starter too far from ring gear, broken bendix throwout fork.

How do you remove and replace a starter for a 1966 Pontiac Lemans 6 cylinder?
FIRST THING: UNHOOK YOUR BATTERY Remove the negative cable from it's post.The starter moror is usually attached by 2 or 3 bolts. The bolts thread into the block. Mark all the wires going to the starter. There should be one long lead coming from the battery, and then some wires going to your starter solenoid which usually comes from the firewall down to the terminals on the starter. Take a photo or make a drawing of how and where each wire is hooked up. Unhook the wires and then begin to turn the bolts left ( left is loosen - right is tighten) and begine by breaking eaqch bolt loose. Then slowly begin to back the bolts out. Make sure when the bolts come out that you know which bolt came from what hole. The bolts maybe of different lengths. As the last bolt is taken out be prepared to catch the starter, it is heavy. To replace the starter just put the new one back against the block. There may be some shims that accompany your new starter. They are used so that the gears at the back on the starter mesh correctly with the gears on the flywheel. You may need to use one, some or none. Shimming the starter gives the gears to flywheel their correct "play". When the solenoid kicks the starter motor gears over against the flywheel, if you have too much the gears may not catch on the gears of the flywheel. Too little play and the gear will go in too deep into the flywheel.
Why does your car not start only makes a whistle like noise?
If you attempt to start your car and a 'whistle' noise is likely the Bendix on the starter spinning, spinning very fast because it has not come out of the it's housing and meshed with the flywheel gears. "Bendix" is a brand name for the starter drive.
What is flywheel what is connector between the engine and transmitter in Chrysler concord 94?
Answer The flywheel is connected to the crank shaft on the engine. It has teeth on it that the starter connects to to start the engine when the starter gear is energized. After the flywheel and before the transmission is the torque convertor. This is what pressurizes the transmission so that is it shifts into and between gears as the car is running. Good luck.
Where is the starter at in the 97 Kia Sportage?
All automotive starters are located at the point where the engine block meets the transmission. The gears of the starter must be engaged with the teeth on the flywheel when the starter is turned over, the power of the starter spinning turns the flywheel which moves the crank and thus moves the pistons for ignition. so, to answer this question, look around the bellhouseing of your transmission and you'll spot it.
How do know if your starter cylinoid needs a shim?
You shim the starter motor if there is inadequate clearance between the starter drive and the ring gear. You can check the clearance by prying the starter drive out to the ring gear with a screwdriver to see if the gears mesh properly.
