I replaced my starter this weekend. The (click, click, click) thread was very useful in eliminating other potential problems.
The O ring on the old starter looked good and there was no evidence of oil surounding it. When I placed the oldstarter on a rag after extraction, I noticed 2-3oz of primary oil come out of it, I'm guessing there is another seal around the shaft itself and that's what must have been bad. New starter works great.
PS: I may be a newb and missed it some where, but for others, I want to let you know that my 05 did not need to have the primary taken off, there is no nut and tab on the end of the shaft, I did have to drop the belt drive to get the starter out and in. Not incuding the primary cover removal, it took about 2 hours, to replace. Read up on clutch adjustments on these before hand, all and all its pretty easy, even in the 100degf heat here in LV.
Peace
