intermittent starting?!

Synchros shot? Weird noises while shifting? Not sure what needs to be replaced?

The only Bosch thing I buy is oil filters. That's it, man.

I've found Bosch's premium wiper blades to be better than any other standard wiper blades on the market. Besides working well, they last forever. It's been a long time since I've bought any and these days I'm thinking of abandoning standard blades and using the non-hinged new solid style. Lately it seems I can't find the premium Bosch blades, just their basic model.

Nah its actually pretty easy to f**k a starter install up. If you mis-aligned the shim, or tightened the bolts wrong (2 bolts usually hold it up, if you tighten 1 completely before even getting the other hand-tight it'd be messed up), the teeth on it wouldn't mesh right with the flywheel. That probably wouldn't do any serious damage though, you'd just have to take the starter off and put it back on correctly.
Shims are a GM thing.
