Thought I had a bad starter on my 63 Valiant, but the flywheel teeth worn in two places. I don't suppose I can just remove the transmission to change it? Tried to search for the information with no luck.

You can remove the trans and bellhousing (for stick) or the whole trans (for AT) and get the flywheel out. The motor can stay in the car. I've done this dozens of times. If you have an AT, then you'll have to replace the whole torque converter or get a specialized shop to weld on a new tooth ring and rebalance it. Hope this helps, Lou |

I ve just cut the welds, flipped the ring around and rewelded it. Of course that only works if only the front part of the teeth are damaged. |

Bud, the damage is just on the edge. If I flip and weld will I still need to have it rebalanced? Dan M. |

Sorry, it took so long to get back, I am in and out here. Shouldn't be a major problem, if the ring is solid like I think it is. I don't know how well those things are balanced to begin with.
