Well yesterday I was experiencing the infamous starter problem. The starter started turning slower and slower each time until it finally died. I tried another battery, nothing. I checked all the switches and relays that have to do with starting the car and everything was well. So I decided to take down the starter. I took it apart and noticed that the yoke and the armature were full of what I guess would be dust from the magnets. So i cleaned them off with brake cleaner and then i assembled it and tested it out. It started back up, and up till now no problems. I'll post my impressions again in a few weeks to see how it's gonna hold. Take care everybody.
