starter failed on the honda passport...

considering the OE part was very costly...

decided on the over the counter duralast...

well.. to make a long story short.. she whines loudly as soon as it engages..

damn... guess the gearing with the flywheel is mismatched....



teaches me from skimpin.. arrgghh
