 No but here are some bad ones..

pull the starter of and wirebrush the face where it seats on the tranny..then
clean the tranny area too...put it back and make SURE that the top bolt is
the first one you tighten....
Next...check ...heck..CHANGE the ground strap between the tranny and the
body....

after that? add a  "ford solenoid" to the system like on the old buses..
you should be goo to go..unless it''s just a bum starter
