Do you need shims when replacing starter on a 1996 Isuzu trooper?
If it has shims now and you buy an OEM replacement starter, then use the shims. If it does not have shims then you will not need them. Replace the starter with an exactly duplicate, installed exactly as the original. If in doubt measure the distance from the mounting plate face to the end of the drive gear shaft and make sure that distance in the same on the replacement starter.

How do you replace a starter on a 83 Chevy S-10?
One of the easiest starters ever... 1) Disconnect negative battery cable 2) Remove nut holding power wire to starter. 3)Remove smaller wire(s) to starter. Mark which goes where if several are present, and you don't think you'll remember how it goes. 4)Remove the starter bolts that are locatd directly under the starter. 5)Starter will come out of vehicle at this point. NOTE: Many Chevy's use shims to space the starter from the flywheel. If your vehicle uses them the new starter will likely come with shims. Use the same number of shims as was in the vehicle when you took it apart. If starter grinds when starting after starter replacement you may need to add additional shims.
