Cripes... I'll have a fit if its my flywheel. The fortunate thing is that I've been plugging my block heater in the last 2 nights and its been starting with no problems. That and I've been talkin' sweet to my baby... maybe that did it.

On the other hand, if the flywheel were bent or warped, wouldn't you feel a vibration engaging the clutch?

By the way, anyone know where physically the starter is on the engine? I've read "upper-rear part of the engine" which seems wierd considering most starters are usually low on the engine.
