Shim a starter on T-5 through w/insp plate off?
I am about to replace a starter on my GTA. I just got a shiny new Hitachi delivered today (PSL100 from Street Side Auto). Gonna post an aftermarket review on it after a while. Very pleased with the looks of it so far and the company's service. Got it for $108 shipper and it's "assembled" in the USA from US and foreign parts. A real Hitachi and came with ARP hardware!
My question is, can I measure the backlash and properly shim this by removing the inspection plate? It's a T-5 manual tranny and it's all installed in the car. I'd really hate to have to pull the bellhousing to do this but if I must I must. The answer to this question will determine what day and where I will do this. If I need to pull the tranny, I'm going to take it to work and put it on the rack for sure and I'll have to wait till I can get it for a whole day on the weekend.
