Need some advice. 69 charger, 383, 4sp. Starter was acting up, sometimes the bendix wouldn't kick in and sometimes it would stay engaged after starting. Replaced it with a reman from car quest. Sounded really weird and had a high pitch noise. Old starter had a shim. Never saw a mopar with a shim before. Soooo, was there more than one starter application and did dodge use shims?

I've never seen a shim on a Mopar.
No don't believe they used more than one model starter on a big block.

they call it a shield if this is what your talking about.

That looks like what is on there but why would it be needed on the normal/ factory starter?

Think of it as a dust shield, as there are little gaps otherwise between starter and bell.
