This happens fairly often when a ring gear is replaced by a incompetent 
mechanic. The only solution is replacing the ring gear once again. In 
very rare cases one can heat the exisring ring quickly to expand the 
ring gear without heating up the flywheel to much and bang home the ring 
gear. However this trick usually fails for various reasons.
