Heres the specs,78 F100 with transplanted 351W and C6 transmission.This combination worked great for about 6 years then need a motor rebuild.I used a recommended shop for R&R and remanufacture of my engine.Since then it has eaten about 14 starter gears in 2 years.The rebuild shop says its not their problem.In the first year I bought a heavy duty starter from a starter shop which claimed the problem was electrical,the problem continued.I came to the conclusion that the flywheel/flex plate was the problem so I bought and installed a new one myself,found a few chipped teeth on the old one.It went 9 months then started doing it again,Ive replaced 2 starter gears in the last 3 months.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,,,,,,,,Dale
