Hiya! Yes, Chevy likes to use shims to adjust the starter spacing so it meshes properly with the ring gear. They've always been funny that way. If you're getting abnormal starter grinding, noise or failure you need to re adjust the spacing for the starter. Your local parts store will have shims with different thicknesses. If the Bendix gear wont mesh and makes a sound like a cat being stomped on, you need to use a thicker shim. If your starter is spinning and not turning the ring gear use a thinner shim. You can usually tell by the sound when your starting the car if it needs adjustment . Good Wrench.

Will a starter without shims work in a 1989 Royal eighty eight Oldsmobile?

It is very possible. When engaging the starter it should sound perfectly normal. Anything other than normal may require adding or removing shims. There is a procedure to measure the proper alignment between the ring gear and the starter drive gear but it can be rather difficult to accomplish. I've always had good luck using the sound it makes as a guide. Unless you are deaf, you will know if it doesn't sound right.

How do you remove and install 1989 Chevy Beretta 6 cylinder starter?

This is fairly easy. You will need to jack up the car or put it on ramps or a lift. Disconnect the positive battery cable. The starter is in the front of the motor next to the radiator. There will be a plastic cover that mounts to the frame (a dust cover) for the transmission flywheel. Remove this. You will need to remove the oil filter from the car. Now you can remove the two bolts for the starter, be careful, there will be shims between the starter and the transmission. Put them back in with the new starter the way they came out. With the bolts out, slide the starter back so that it hangs. Don't be rough with it as the condition of the wiring to it may be questionable. Big nut, remove and take the main wire off. Little nut, remove same. Remove the starter from the car. Reverse for installation. These steps have been performed but there is still not enough room to access the starter to remove it. The air compressor seems to be in the way.
