Does it have the bracket that attaches the back of the starter to the block?

use OEM bolts, be sure threads in block are good, inspect gear on flex plate, one broken tooth will cause the starter to jump.

Also be sure you are using the correct OEM bolts, they're metric. Must buy them from a GM dealer.

On my first one, it kept skipping and had chewed off a few teeth on the flywheel. When I replaced the flywheel, I left the transmission and transfer case on my jack and installed some six inch long bolts to keep it lined up. After swapping the flywheel, it was easy to slide the gearboxes back oin place. Just a tip if you do have to change the flywheel. Glen
