Anyway, I ordered a 184 tooth all ready so I got my fingers crossed it will fit.
It's likely I've had the wrong ring gear all this time and THAT may account for the numerous starter problems I've had over the years?
I'm moving later next month, this is the worst possible time to be dealing with flywheel issues and a car that won't go.  |
So the teeth were just "spread apart" more than they should have been? How did you manage that?  |
