Starter noise (Bendix or flywheel ring gear?) 200 92

posted by  someone claiming to be David Leonard on  Thu Jan 4 03:58 CST 2001 [RELATED]

The starter on my '92 240 makes a grinding noise about one out of every 3 starts. I can lower the frequency by backing off the key a little early. Two questions:

1) Is the problem usually chipped teeth on the flywheel ring gear or could the Bendix be at fault?

2)What are the rough repair costs of replacing the ring gear?

3) Are rebuilt starters reliable?

Thanks in advance

David
