Hello, camrades!
I have a non-common problem with my 1987 Bronco II XLT (manual trans). And I'm running out of ideas how to fix it.
My starter drive teeth seem to slip on flywheel ring gear teeth. The fork throws starter drive forward long enough (about half an inch). It just seems the diameter of starter drive or flywheel ring gear is not enough. The teeth engage by the very edge. Both the starter drive and flywheel ring gear were taken by using a Ford part number and it's (the last purchased) a 9-teeth OEM drive. The starter flange seats in place with no misfit, the bolts are torqued.
I had changed four starter drives and one flywheel ring gear. And even one rebuild starter. With the same result. One or two acceptable starts and then... the same goddamn grinding sound and chewed teeth on starter drive.
I'd be most happy if someone will tell me what to do.
