Reply to "Starter Motor for 351 C with C6 transmission"

Walt2103, you obviously have the Plate between Block and Transmission. If you remove the Transmission from the Engine (Important leave the Converter on the Transmission) and then temporarily mount your starter on the Sheet metal plate you should be able to push the Drive out and inspect why its not engaging properly. On your Starter first remove the Cap covering the Electro Magnet for the Drive throw out and you are able to manually pry the Drive out to its full extend simulating the throw out!

On the Photo were you measure the Ring Gear/Flex Plate it looks like you are measuring to the Back Side of the Ring Gear? It is from the Starter mounting Surface to the Ring Gear on the Engine (forward) side you must measure approximately 19mm!

Also the Tooths on the Starter Sprocket has a Wedge shape to secure smooth engagement. If they are damaged you must either replace the Drive or remove the Drive from the Starter and Grind them carefully with an Angle Grinder to restore the Wedge shape.
