Hi,
I have just taken my gearbox off to fit a five speed and noticed my flywheel has about 1/4 to 1/3 of the teeth missing all the way round. Its been grinding on the starter since i bought it ( think the solenoid wasnt pushing the pinion out far enough ) so i got a starter with the five speed box from the scrappy. Just want to know if i should replace the flywheel or will it be allright with a better starter in there ( push the pinion further onto the remaning good part of the teeth?). If i do have to take off the flywheel how do you stop it from turning the engine when undoing the bolts?
Any help appriciated.......mcd
Sorry for the length off my post........
