Starter ate my ring gear. Had to pull the tranny and off with the flywheel. They gave me a new starter and flywheel but I still need to do the work.
Someday I'll be able to join.
Have fun.

Dennis,

Make sure you get the starter gear and the flywheel set up right. I have been through this a few times. Check everything before you put the tranny back in.

Good luck, missed you today.

I hope I checked it enough. Barley tightened the flywheel, just enough to set it, replace the bell housing, just tight enough and not all the bolts then turned it over, sounded sweet. Removed the bellhousing, again, torqued down the fly wheel, installed the clutch and pressure plate, reinstalled the bellhousing, and retightened most bolts and tried the starter again, seemed to work fine.
This is the 3rd starter, the first one froze up, the one that ate the ring gear had a defective bearing in the nose. It told the starter it was done, so the gear went back and forth like a jack hammer. Oh well. Better times comin.
