 Next step looks like pulling trans to repair/replace flywheel.&nbsp;<br><br=

<p>Here is a wild guess... The Triumph 6 cylinder flywheels use a shrink fit=
 ring gear. The gear reduction starters push the bendix towards the rear of t=
he engine, and if the ring gear was installed with the beveled teeth facing t=
he rear of the car, not the front, I can see how the ring gear might get pus=
hed back so far that the pinion gear can't reach it any more. Should be easy=
 to check looking into the bellhousing where the starter came out.&nbsp;</p>=

<div>Update: &nbsp;I have pulled starter and bench tested it and it looks li=
ke it is working correctly. The pinion gear is moving out and spinning.&nbsp=

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Inspection of pinion gear shows contact pattern at less than 50%. Inspe=
ction of ring gear shows same patters. It looks like the pinion gear is not c=
oming out far enough or failing to mesh with ring gear.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Has anyone seen this?<br><br>
