An intermittent problem occurs while starting. The starter gear does not fully mesh with the flywheel gear and creates terrible grating noise. I presume the starter gear does not fully jump into the flywheel gears. On second or third attempt the gears mesh and car starts quickly. I wonder if the electrical contact in the ignition switch might be the problem before I rip out the starter and lubricate its starter gear action. Thank you, Seamus J. Wilson
