I had the same but the car was 12 volt in this case the ring gear rubbed a cut into the back of the pan ,we removed the fly wheel and turned a 1/8 groove in it then added corresponding dimples of weld on the inside of the ring gear then shrunk it on ,A lot of work ,it had been previously welded ,they are dissimilar metals cast iron and steel a special rod needed ,

come out just the starter clunk. So we towed it back to our shop (I did pop the clutch &
smoked the tire) in short remove starter its perfect. Ring gear jammed against the
block so we tapped it back with a punch put four spot welds equally spaced. That is a
poor design in my book the shoulder on the flywheel should be on the block side not the
rear side cause the thrust of the bendix is pushing toward the block. Although its a first
for me...
