RE: [Chrysler300] Fw: 300G torque converter

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, Bill - I I counted the teeth on a 300G torque converter, and came up
with 172 of them...  if Al says his ring gear has 146 teeth, and a 300G ring
gear is supposed to have 172 teeth ....  The problem is rather obvious.

Al,

If the gears are clashing, there almost certainly will be evidence on both
gears.  Maybe you might try painting some machinist's dye on both the ring
gear where it is exposed through the starter hole and also on the starter
gear, all teeth.  That will let you see if there is engagement or not, and
also if the gear is spinning on the edge of the ring gear.  I have had bad
bendix drives before. One of them sounded like a wounded animal when it was
slipping.  Another did sound like the starter wasn't engaging, the starter
spun up with a grinding noise, but it was really just the bendix slipping.
