Review on 🔧 Optimized Performance Guaranteed: ACDelco 337 1018 Professional Starter for Smooth Engine Ignition by Eloy Boelkens

For starters this is advertised in the ACDelco catalog as a 9 speed direct drive starter. An 11 tooth gear starter is included which is very similar to the Remy model 96206 gear starter. This Delco part actually has a 'Remy' stamp next to the terminals but has a Delco part number 337-1018 sticker on it. It looks like Delco will be replacing this geared Remy model and not updating its catalogue. My 1998 Tahoe had a 9 tooth direct drive and used 4-5/16" stepped knurled screws next to the threads. The wide end should be in the starter housing, the narrow end goes into the block. This is the same screw as was previously used on the Mini -Used starters or transmission starters. There is a note in the packaging stating that the starter may not look like your original but will work the same without modification. Direct drive heat shield cannot be transferred to this transmission starter. I understand transmission starters are fewer prone to overheating issues, so we'll see how that works.
