Grinding issues when starting

[OR VietVet]

Or bent/warped like the guy shows in the video I linked

I gotta admit, all my years in the shops, I have never seen a bent/warped flex plate but that don't mean s*h*i*t. Definitely a possibility.

FYI You can write "shit." No need to disguise it.

I posted something with the word t*o*p*l*e*s*s earlier and it zapped it. I assumed the word shit would be too.

I shimmed the starter ~1mm and so far so good.
I agree with y’all seems like I shouldn’t have to. What little bit of flywheel I can see seems fine, but who knows.
1 out of every 100 starts does as described in the video so may take a while to see if shim helped.
I used to get hesitant or sluggish starts randomly but post shimming they’ve been consistent strong starts
I bought the tahoe used and have just slowly gone through and replaced most things.
This just hasn’t gone away yet. Fingers crossed Doubelieve is right with shims
Thank you all!
