Mike,
Like you, I don't have any personal knowledge, but I seem to recall a thread
about reversing the ring gear to resolve this problem. Perhaps the solution
is to reverse it and rotate it 90 or 270 degrees. I am going from a
progressively unreliable memory here so I am certain that the true experts
will set me or both of us straight.

Subject: [6pack] Starter/ring gear problem
I don't have any personal knowledge of this but I'm sure some of the listers
o:
t seems like I recall a thread about the ring gear having the wrong gear
ngle for cars with starters that engaged from the rear (this is not an
bscene comment). As I recall the ring gear was originally designed for cars
hat used a pull method of engaging the starter not the push method used on
ur 6s and etc. If this is the case, it would seem that the ring gear or
tarter gear would be more likely to fail and, most importantly, if it becomes
ecessary to remove it from the flywheel you could rotate it 180 degrees,
einstall it and it would work even better than the original. What says the
isters, is this a reasonable conclusion?
