Hi All, I think the GRS use a "pre-engaged" gear concept such that the
gear is flung into mesh with the flywheel just an instant before the
armature begins to spin. From time to time (read infrequently) mine
doesn't mesh and gives an audible click. I just keep stabbing the start
button until it does mesh. This is a small PITA if I need a quick
getaway but it usually doesn't happen. At worst I've had to "rock" the
car in gear to move the flywheel just a tad. Still, it's not enough
PITA to be troublesome.

flipping the ring gear around just to accomodate the geared starter"
Wouldn't the beveled edge be on the wrong side of the teeth anyway?
