Starter stays engaged but doesn't keep cranking?
I have a 1965 Ford mustang and when I start the car it starts up and the starter stops pushing the motor over but the starter its self won't disengage from the flywheel. Anybody have any ideas why this could be happening?
Starter drive(bendix) spring broken. Change the starter.

Rebuilt starters are cheap and easy to replace on that car. Recently replaced the one on my '63 Falcon Ranchero. (Under the hood, a Falcon is exactly the same as a Mustang)
Is this something you just installed? Some of those old classic engines had to have the starter shimmed. The bendix is too close to the flywheel. One if not both of the mounting bolts will need a shim between the starter and bellhousing or block. That will push the bendix teeth away from the flywheel teeth just enough so the bendix can retract.
- Starter stays engaged? Need help regarding the starter relay, I've replaced both starter relay as well as the ignition switch. I don't know if I got the wiring backwards, but I took it off how it was working. Car is a 1962 ford falcon, any help would be appreciated never had a problem before.
- Problem when 4wd hubs are engaged? I have a 4x4 1988 2.3 five speed Ford Ranger. When I engage the manual locking hubs (but even when truck is still in 2wd) There's a distinct rattle felt when going at higher speeds like over 45 MPH. But it is not present when hubs are not locked, or when going slower. Bad U-joints? Any Ideas?
- My 2008 ford ranger Truck is making a Grinding noise when clutch is engaged/press. What are my options? I attach a youtube video of a different car making the same sound. Is my only option to replace the clutch or can it be adjusted? If anybody could link a repair manual to a 2008 ford ranger that would be awesome. I tried google and torrent sites but had no luck
- 1994 Ford Ranger, Rough Cranking When Engine Is Warm/Hot? - 1994 Ford Ranger - 2.3l Engine - 110k Miles My truck has been having problems cranking when the engine is warmed up/hot. When the engine is cold or hasn't been started for like 2-3hours, it will start right up. I have a few ideas of what it may be, but I would like others opinions also. - ECT Sensor? - ICM? - Crank Sensor? Those are the three I have thought of that could be causing a problem with my situation.
