Jim, I did NOT have to grind or modify anything to fit the Denso in my 2000 ZF6 truck. I went in fully expecting to have to because of the information I had read, but was happy that I did not.

DonnyBrasco, did you use longer bolts to mount the starter like I did? If I remember correctly I used bolts that were 15mm longer than the OEM ones because the surface of the Denso is much thicker. On my ZF6, the bolt holes go through, not sure how they are on the 4R100.
I did not have a chance to install my starter yet. I'm also waiting on obtaining a new starter cable. At least on one of the bolts I will need to make sure the bolt is not too long. I did not take a good picture of the top bolt. I will try to remember taking a better photo to upload.



It looks like Brad hit the home run with M10 x 1.5 x 40mm bolts.

This is what the 45mm look like after mounted. Imagine the OEM 30mm in there, very drastic difference in bite between the two.
