Message	Once temp got lower, my starter would begin to grind. With a few/several tries, it would catch and start the car. I replaced that starter with a used one I had laying around. That starter didn't grind at all, until recently when it hit 30 degrees. This morning, nothing, Bendix gear didn't even spin. Battery isn't old, cables are tight, etc etc Has been sitting in the sun all day, perhaps it will move but temp is still currently only 22 degrees (freezing :))
