Hello,

Metalic rattling noise was heard from under the engine while driving. I turned it off to check it and now it doesn't start.

Car does not turn over.

Steady hum heard with no turning of the crankshaft seen. Fuel pump works.

I assume that the ring gear (?) linking the starter to the engine is broken.


If I get it started from a roll and pop the clutch, will I damage anything driving it home?


Suggestions as to the cause and the repair?

Thanks.
