Re: [Chrysler300] 300E starting motor issues

They are human are they not?  When you put the engine & tranny  assembly
together were there round bushing looking items in the block that the two
bottom bolts go through the block and thread into the tranny on both sides
to align the tranny & engine.  Every one removes them to mount the block on
a engine stand and I have seen the saltiest MoPar mechanics forget to
reinstall them.  More than ounce I have had to make a phone call to have
them sent after an engine was shipped.  About a year ago I went through the
exact same problems with a local gentleman that his Desoto sat for 11 years
with a hanging starter and he asked me to haul it away out of discus, we
split the tranny from the engine in the car and installed the alignment
bushings and he threatens to kiss me every time we meet him driving it.  He
was told everything from wiring, out of time, bent crank to out of round
flywheel.  Wiring and or timing will have Nothing to do with the starter
hanging, it is a mechanical problem as per your description.  If you have
nothing but time go play with the wiring and timing to prove it to yourself!
 Just my $0.02 worth.  Ya I know I could have had a mostly restored 58
Desoto for free if I kept my mouth shut.  But I have to sleep at night, and
now there is a place in MoPar heaven for me.  o-:

Those issues don't appear to be cause as both engine and trans guys are 30+
year chrysler guys. Going to check the wiring as someone else suggested and
fiddle with the timing. Thks for ideas

Did they reinstall the Alignment Dowels in the block?   They often get
overlooked but are necessary to align the transmission with the block.  If
not aligned you will experience starter problems like you are, or starter
not engaging depending on what way it is misaligned.  Another problem is
converter bolts hard to start.  What say you?

Really going to miss Carmel meet. I think this Eeeek! is still haunted.
Starter stuck in ring gear last fall & partially disassembled to get it
released, then off to storage. Located rebuilt starter & installed last week
  Old starter was "groaning" when 1st hit key, then speed up till motor
caught. So thought windings were gone-20 yrs old. But started fine this
spring. New starter also groans & then speeds up & it starts when cold. When
hot, barely cranks over, doubtful if it will start sometimes. Motor has
about 400 miles after full rebuild. One suggestion is timing needs to be
backed off a bit, which I haven't tried yet. Any other ideas out there?
Thanks.
