Guys,

The gear reduction starter works from the opposite side of the  
flywheel (as opposed to the stock starter).  The angles on the teeth  
of the flywheel face toward the stock starter so, it is easy for the  
gear reduction starter to jamb from time to time.  Easiest fix is to  
put the car in 3rd gear and rock the car by pushing on the rear  
fender.  This usually works to un-jamb the starter.
