Hello,

Why on earth would my starter make a grinding noise when the temp is below
20 deg? It is a starter for an automatic and is just shy oif a year old. I
don't have any problems with it unless the temps drop real low and then it
will make a grinding noise when I turn the key. Makes that sound a couiple
of times and then starts up fine. It also seems to happen only after if has
been sitting for the night.
