So glad I tried to help you.

BTW those are E-Torx, not Torx bolts that retain the starter.

Since you didn't state specifically in your final post, I am hoping the foolish recommendation I made that your starter appeared to be the problem (post #12) we are left to guess if it worked.

Nice write up on how you performed the R&R but would like to know if this was the ultimate solution.

My guess is we won't know for a while. There's a list of possible solutions that weren't considered prior to replacing the starter.

It amazes me that people won't pay attention to those with experience.
