300G Transmission - reply

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

Hi AL, 

Everything is quite different, between the cast-iron torqueflite and the
aluminium one; starters do not interchange; neither do torque converters
and/or ring gears.  There is virtually no possiblilty that the wrong
components were used, especially if the starter does accomplish its function
(albeit in a noisy way) and gets the car started. 

If the starter is making a grinding sound, it would appear that it is not
meshing correctly with the teeth of the ring gear on the torque converter.
Best thing to do would probably be to pull the starter out and visually
inspect the ring gear; there should be some visual sign of improper metal to
metal contact which will help in diagnosing the problem. 

There should also be a shim or shims between starter and engine block, where
starter bolts to block. Did someone forget to reinstall the shims? 

Let us know the outcome

Hi All,
I need help with my 300G. I just had the transmission rebuilt and the
starter is making a horrible sound. They replaced the ring gear on the
torque converter, can anyone tell me if there are different ring gears or
starters for the cast iron case torqueflite and do they match the aluminum
case torque flight?

Thanks,    Al
