RE: [Chevelle-list] my flywheel is missing some teeth

Your flywheel will continue to frustrate you. It will eventually chew the teeth up on your starter if you don’t replace it. I wish I had better news for you.   Bill Vander Werf     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan McIntosh Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 6:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-list] my flywheel is missing some teeth   Howdy! My new ride wont start. Thinking it was a starter malfunction, I removed it from the car.  When I glanced up at the flywheel, I noticed that 6 teeth were virtually non-existent. It seems like if I spin the motor a little bit, the flywheel will move and the starter will engage on good teeth.  But my question is, if it doesn't start on the first revolution, and it hits this spot again, will it blow right by the bad spot due to momentum, or will it stop spinning the motor again. I want to drive this damn car already, but something is keeping me from doing so! Also, if it does start, and I park somewhere, and the flywheel just so happens to stop in the bad spot again, is there a quick remedy, such as leaving the car in drive and pushing on it or something?
