Ring Gear
I just took my starter off for a replacement. When the rebuild shop looked at it they encouraged me to inspect the ring gear before reassembly.
Problem: Probably 5-8 times during the last couple of months my starter found a spot that sounded horrible when attempting to crank. It almost sounded like you were trying to start the car with it running. I suspect this is because the starter was spinning before it was engaging. Question: Is it a common thing for the ring gear to get chipped teeth or wear out? I'm worried because this sounds major? I'm not even sure if there is room enough to inspect it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.... Don
