I recently got a 2000 model year vtr. The car has a problem when starting sometimes it makes a screeching noise and wont start, i originally thought it was the starter motor at fault but on removing the starter i saw that the ring gear was chewed up pretty bad. I understand that to replace the ring gear it has to be heated up as it is interference fit. I want to attempt this job myself as i am a apprentice mechanic but my space is limited in my garage at home.
How difficult isit to remove the gearbox ?
Would it be worth changing the flywheel with the ring gear on rather than heating things up?
Worth changing cluthch aswell ?
Also on startup the you can hear a bearing type noise from the gearbox could this be the release bearing ( the noise does'nt go when the clutch pedal is depresed )
i am away with work next week but
PLEASE HELP IT IS STESSING ME OUT !!!!!!!
