Punctuation. That's my suggestion. It is very difficult to help you when you do not gives us an idea where one idea stops and another starts.

An '87 Bronco is going to take some work, so you either need to know this sort of stuff or be ready to open your checkbook very wide, or look at the issues as being unimportant to "flight operations," and learn to work around them.

I can't imagine any transmission problem that would break the starter. You did not say which transmission you have, but I assume the automatic. The starter should not care abou tthe transmission per se, but it would care about the bellhousing and flywheel.

The fuel level sending unit lives in the gas tank, and is part of the fuel pump if I remember correctly. You will have to drop the tank to get the pump and sending unit out.

Please provide more information:

____ Fuel guage (gauge?): If it doesn't work, how do you know it is 'fine'?

____ Opinion on hat: What kind of hat? Style or value opinion?

____ Broken mounting ears: Starter mounting ears are very strong. Broken ears are almost always caused by improper installation, not by subsequent operation. What did the mechanic who replaced the starter say was the cause of the breakage?

If possible, have your next post proofread by a literate friend. A truly serious inquiry may get no responses because posts with extensive spelling and punctuation errors are often ignored as probable trolls.

Good luck.

Well The lady had bought a ramanufactured c6 automatic transmission from checker auto parts. Now ever since this transmission has been put in the mounting ears have been cracking or breaking off completely. Every starter has lasted about 5 start ups and thats it. Now i have crawled under and made sure the last starter i just put in was lining up correctly and the same thing happend. i checked the fly wheel and there is nothing wrong with it its not bent or missing any teeth. i don?t know what to do i personaly think that something is just not lining up right
