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.

They most often engage too deep.....the ring gear on the flywheel hits the conical section behind the starter gear. I had to make a shim shaped like the mounting boss......bout .09 thick....to move the starter out. Take off your HI torque and look....it leaves a mark all around the cone section that shouldn't be there.....*that's what makes the rude noise*.
