Poor Starter Engagement

911 Carrera with G50 Transmission





To improve starter engagement a wider ring gear is installed beginning with Model Year 1989.

Engine number 64 K 01999 to 64 K 02208 and then from engine number 64 K 03112 on.

When repairing cars with starter engagement problems outside of the above engine number ranges, the ring gear should be checked for damage. If the ring gear is damaged, install the new wider ring gear PN 950 116 143 01. Also the starter gear should be checked for damage. If necessary replace starter.

Important





Make sure the ring gear is installed correctly:
Flat surface towards pressure plate Recessed surface towards bolt head (Fig. 2)
Bolt torque: 24 N-m (18 ft.lbs.)

For transmission case dimensions refer to Technical Bulletin Group 2, Number 8708, Book D, page 101. Correct as necessary.
