Right Synchro909 easy fix. That is how I fixed mine. No more trouble.
I have also fixed them the hard way.... after the ring gear has been pushed off,....i.e., pull the engine, remove the flywheel and replace the starter ring gear.
In all these cases but one there was no warning. A terrible noise with the ring gear rattling around in the flywheel housing.

One produced a loud knock with the engine running.
The ring gear was hitting the flywheel housing. Since it didn't come completely off it was a easy fix.
