HI guy thanks for the insite I did some research and it looks like there is only 1 ring gear ( 164 tooth ) and one Bindix but there are two different starters one for a auto trans and one for a manual trans and I'm leaning towards the wrong starter as the problem. Since I have the truck apart I am going to go head and replace the ring gear and starter drive as well as installing a new clutch kit. Short of taking my old starter in to the part store if there a way to tell witch starter I have ?
