My 380 SL has an intermitent starter problem. Every second or third morning it turns over very slowly as if the battery is low on charge, once the engine starts and shuts down everything works fine. The car has 170,000 miles, battery is new and the connections at the battery are clean. One time last week it sounded like the starter stayed engaged for a couple of seconds after the key was released. Is the problem possibly brushes? solenoid? bushings? drive? combination of all? I haven't even looked yet, does anyone know how hard is it to remove this starter? Any unique tricks I should know about? Thanks in advance, Doug
