I've got a 2010 Accord V6 that's making a funny noise on cold starts. It's been doing it for a while, but I haven't had a chance to work on it until now.
At first, I thought it was a belt of pulley failing, but I think that it may be a starter issue. The car starts right up but there is a short noise right after the gears on the starter disengage from the teeth on the flywheel. I'm not sure if the bearings need to be replaced or if I can get away with just greasing it.
Any suggestions before I start taking the starter off? I can't have this car off the road for more than a day. If the general consensus is that the starter can't be saved, I'll have to buy a new one before I start tearing it down.
