Removing the starter

So I just replaced it with the stock starter for now, but now it's making a clicking sound whenever the car is running and it sounds off when starting up. Maybe I didn't tighten it on completely flush? Anyone know what could be causing this? When starting it, it just sounds higher pitched than usual, but maybe I'm just comparing it to my old worn out starter.

I can try and take a video tomorrow.


No mini starter huh? Oooooo.... K.....

Sounds like you have a new bad starter or wires are touching and throwing the starter solenoid out at random.

If the starter is working fine far as engaging the flex plate or fly wheel without misalignment I would have to say it's the starter.
