Message	I posted in tech about how my starter was grinding a good 80% of the time after my new clutch install, and it had been grinding prior with damage to the ring gear. Well, the latest grinding appeared weird as I had swapped out a low mileage, known-to-be-good starter, and it still would grind just as much.. Then I saw the ring gear on Mike's recently posted RPS, and I thought "Wait a minute.. I don't think mine was oriented that way" and I'm kicking myself for not comparing it to my old RPS before installation. I guess it was mainly ignorance.. but I didn't know they could be on backwards. Anyways, here's mine: That would probably explain why the starter can't reach it much of the time, no?

(n/m) - collegeboy 23:21:40 03/16/09 Whole assembly w/flywheel weighs less than my RPS clutch :) (n/m) - 91Z32TT 00:40:56 03/17/09 Because it's using multi-disk, no need for large diameter. (n/m) - sparkie 10:37:04 03/17/09 I have the same prob but dont get what your talking about - Nis300owner 01:00:37 03/17/09 thinking clutchmasters installed the ring gear backwards (n/m) - gt300zxtt 01:31:49 03/17/09 Correct. The "groove" on the ring gear is facing the starter - 91Z32TT 02:10:54 03/17/09 Re: Correct. The "groove" on the ring gear is facing the starter - WazTTed 08:28:31 03/17/09
