starter not engaging any more
we fixed the oil pressure problem. now i have a new problem.
my starter was making some noise when trying to engage and some times it would bind up and not turn the motor over at all. i would then have to turn the motor by hand to release the starter from the ring gear on the fly wheel. from trying to start the truck i think the gear on the starter is torn up because it does not engage at all any more. the motor is a 300i6 with a tremec 5 speed trans. i put a brand new starter in and had the ring gear on the flywheel flipped around so i would have a fresh start. this transmission was run before with this bellhousing,stater,and flywheel combination and worked. i haven't had time to take any thing apart yet so i don't know what condition the ring gear and starter are in. aren't these projects fun?
