I suppose that's possible. I don''t know anything about the GT6, but if it's
anything like the TR3/4, I would first check to see if the starter is just
jammed by trying to turn the engine over with the fan, or pushing it a few
inches in 4th. Then I would check to see if that #@&*! bushing didn't fall
out of the back again.
