What I meant was to flip the ring gear over completely so the back (unworn)
side of the ring gear becomes the side that comes in contact with the
starter. If you just move the gear around on the flywheel the motor will
eventually stop on the bad spot(s) again. Sorry if I was unclear about that.

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.

I don't have any personal knowledge of this but I'm sure some of the listers
do:
It seems like I recall a thread about the ring gear having the wrong gear
angle for cars with starters that engaged from the rear (this is not an
obscene comment). As I recall the ring gear was originally designed for cars
that used a pull method of engaging the starter not the push method used on
our 6s and etc. If this is the case, it would seem that the ring gear or
starter gear would be more likely to fail and, most importantly, if it
becomes
necessary to remove it from the flywheel you could rotate it 180 degrees,
reinstall it and it would work even better than the original. What says the
listers, is this a reasonable conclusion?
