I saw it as part of a "probe failure report"

Larry A.

here it is:

        Yesterday, we here at www.frankcondelli.com =
<http://www.frankcondelli.com/> ran into a new problem that we have =
never seen before.  Replacing a starter on a Syncro and the starter was =
in the way of putting back the vacuum actuator for the diff lock.  Got =
another starter out of stock and it worked.  The first starter we took =
off the self was 1/2=E2=80=99 longer than the second one.  Both were =
Bosch, std. tranny, from 1982, 025 911 023A, SR 401X starters from the =
same supplier that I have been getting them for years.  First time we =
ever see this problem.  The black casing portion of the starter must be =
4=E2=80=9D long not 4-1/2" for it to work in the Syncro.  Check your =
starters before installing and then becoming bewildered !

Cheers,   =20
