Had a tooth out. I could hear a repetitive thump when starting and I knew it was a tooth missing. But, finally, this w.e. more teeth must have broken off and of course it stopped right where it won't engage with starter gear. Push started it and dropped it off at shop. I replaced flywheel about 6-7 years ago. My mechanic says it happens with 69-era 911's. High torque starter probably doesn't help.

"Common"? Really? In 37 years of daily association with 356s, 912s, 911s, and 914s, I've NEVER seen a ring gear failure on a car with a stock starter. In fact, I've never seen such a failure on a 6V car improperly converted to 12V, although I've heard of such failures.
