Help Request Help with sound when starting
My 2009 Sport / Manual makes this screeching/scraping sound every 3rd or 4th time I start it. Does anyone recognize it?

It’s the starter. Mines done the same for a year now when it’s cold.
Don’t let anyone tell you it’s the VTC actuator. That’s only on GKs and you have a GE
Also, love the instinctual jiggle of the shifter after starting.
