Re: Starting problem, starter vs. ring gear

Owen has a good point about harsh engagement, on 12 volts the starter spins much faster and really slams into the ring gear.

Car makers went to a finer tooth gear for this reason, when they went to 12V/

It might be a good idea, if you are changing the flex plate, to use a 12V flex plate and starter.
