    Is this a symptom of a problem or the possible cause?

    I seen them both ways. Just add a thin SAE 3/8 washer and call it a day. A wave washer in 3/8" will work also. No washer will work. a flange bolt will work. I think if they are tight no worries. But what do I know? As long as they are M10 1.5 bolts you should be good to go. I do know HMMWV...

    Is this a symptom of a problem or the possible cause?

    It matters not if it has flat washers or flange bolts. the pressure will still be at the same place. Why would it be different if the washer is loose or flanged right on the bolt? But you can use 3/8" flat washers. This is not a close tolerance item. It is a clamp /fastener to keep the starter...

    Is this a symptom of a problem or the possible cause?

    I just never had much trouble with starters and engagement on any CUCV's. I always used a reliable re-builder and I am sure that helped to bypass some of the common starter issues. As a rule I just rebuild the starter as I see fit. If I think it hiccuped wrong I remove it and get it checked out...

    Is this a symptom of a problem or the possible cause?

    You didn't have to mess with any shims and such on your 28MT install? A word of advise. A 28 MT will need shimmed to engage properly also. That shimming just sets the depth that the gears mess and engage. I pulled the bad engine from the HMMWV and the starter had a shim on it. When I...

    That starter is rebuild-able. And it should be less then the price you listed. I had the HMMWV starter rebuilt and it needed an armature and it was about $240. I was happy with that.
