Very rarely have to shim a starter. If there is excessive noise or a disengagement problem it will need to be shimmed.

How do you shim a Chevy 350 starter?

If you are changing the starter I would not shim it right away.Shims are used only when the starter SOUNDS tight. 9 times out of 10 shims are not needed. If the new starter sounds tight ( binding due to tight ring gear to bendix gear) then use one shim at a time to free it up. Even if the old starter had shims, the new one may not. I hope this helps you. Mark you can go to the auto store and buy shims slide em in and tighten it back down

Hi You need to shim outside bolt on starter, go to parts store and get starter shims. Might have to shim till it sounds right. The teeth on starter have to mesh in center of fly wheel or close.

They sell shims because there are differences in the castings, so there is no right answer to your question. Most of them do not need a shim. I have never needed more than two.
