No luck on the shim, experimented with washers between starter and bellhousing to adjust spacing.
No washers=clunking and binding.
1 washer=some grinding, less clunk and sometimes it will start.
2 and 3 washers= grinding.
Looking further, I searched Nissan part using my VIN and the part number that came back was 2330M-9Z400RW.
That starter appears to have no cone at the end of it, similar to Rockautos listings for the 1.4kw starters such as the Denso 2804100
The one I have is the Denso 2804133 1.0kw listed for manual, RWD. (Yes, I have the 5-speed)
Mounting Flange to Pinion End at Rest on both show 8mm.
Does the presence of a "nose-cone" make a difference in fitment?
Which of the two do you have on your trucks?
Should I purchase starter#3 with the open front as perhaps the one with the closed front somehow is incompatible with my vehicle?
