Starter Dragging on Evo 8

Hey Guys,

Have any of you ever experienced starter drag to the point where shims were required to correct the problem?

I put a new starter in and I still get the same drag/cranking over sound with a high pitch squeal right before the car turns on.

So...If it's not the starter then how do you fix the problem?

Might be something with your flywheel, or maybe the ignition? Couple things you can look into...

Yes, I'm thinking it might be the flywheel...How expensive is a new flywheel for an Evo 8?
