Hi guys, I bought an RX 8 adaptor plate to fit the RX 8 gearbox to the Blacktop Zetec. It's all bolted ok but the recommended Starter Motor from Abaston Starters and Alternators Part Number AS S91 -00707 wont engage properly. Has anyone else had this issue.?
I think the thickness of the Adaptor Plate is affecting the throw out distance of the engaging gear.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
