Starter problem!..
its a 5.0 Explorer engine with a mustang flywheel.. attached to a M5OD Trans..
the starters looks like they are too short and reach the flywheel .. do i need a longer starer or what?? a mustang starter?? or wth??
how does a mustang starter looks like will it work??
here are some pics of the starter..
its a starter for a smallblockford 5.0 or 4.9 with manual trans

When you turn to the key to start position, the gear on the starter is pushed out in order to make contact with the flywheel. Once ignition has been achieved and the engine is running, the gear on the starter retracts and remains untouched until you need to start it again.
Does the engine start? If so then I'm guessing you're okay, but since you've got a mustang flywheel in there I don't know if that makes a huge difference or not.

I was going to suggest filling the starter drive gear with wheel bearing grease, remove the coil wire and spin it over and see what kinda gear to gear contact you get. But if it doesn't even touch the flywheel..........well then...............
