    Broken starter bolt

    the reason why i also mentioned the kit that i use.. is that it has centering guides so you can clearly center a drill bit if you need to create more of a surface to work with.. the first time i did it i used a center punch and got close.. but the drill guides are quite helpful.

    Shim the starter question - 12 V

    Sounds like a chipped flex plate. You need to pull the starter and look at the teeth in the engine. Might need to fix that... Then look back at the starter situation. You should bench test the starter while you have it down off the car... Then if you have a working starter with good teeth...
