Difficult since the ring has been knocked backwards but not off of the
flywheel. Not enough space to get a pry bar in to the starter port to
force the ring forward. Being the original owner of this 73 and having
put 327,000 miles on the beast I don't think there is a part on the car
that I haven't touched. This is the second instance of this happening
over the years. The good part is that I have things down to a system. If
it turns out I need to remove the tranny, by experience I know that I
can have it out and back in just about six hours. In that case I would
also install a new ring. Have so many other projects in the works though
that time is of the essence. The other projects have also thinned my
wallet considerably or I would have the whole thing done by BEM. Anyone
on the list want to bid on the project. I'll have the interior out and
the tunnel off.

I am not real sharp at times but if you can weld it through the starter
port could you not knock it back into place through the same hole?

I have a similar situation. The TR-6 has slipped the flywheel starter
ring. Either I have to remove the tranny or drill a hole in the tranny
bell and knock the thing back into place with a drift and apply a few
spot welds through the starter port.
What a pisser!

Well, it will be a while before I can go on any more rides. I lost 2nd
gear last week and I'm not sure when I can get it up to my Dad's shop so
we can fix it.
Cheers,
