my car want start when i put my transmission in. i didnt even take it off the flywheel

That's sound like a plan. What if my battery is fully charged. Where is the ground located on the starter or the wire that connect to the starter

yes. the big honkin' cable....that way cause has to pull "weld" type amperages..which you are pulling this connection off to wirebrush it because it is "welding" itself everytime you engage the starter~ check the date of the first charge on the "knock-off labels" on the top....five years old is too old for these new tin/antimony alloy batteries~

follow the black cable all the way till it hits the chassis....HERE is where the action happens...also another big hunkin' cable that goes to the engine block near the alternator~....for the startermotor...uses the block for ground...duh~

Thanks u are a lot of help. I surely wouldn't thought of that

got converter jammed in front pump. how do you change transmission without removing converter from flywheel
