Could anyone please let me know how many teeth the 29 Bendix should have. I have a 10 and a 11 tooth Bendix and I don’t know which one is correct. Thanks Guys, much appreciated Regards, Chris Cape Town 28 Model A RPU, 29 Chevy Phaeton, 67 E Type FHC, 67 250SL Pagoda, 83 911 SC

I have a new 104tooth ring gear (part nr WX-104)and a new 10 tooth Bendix, (part nr 342793A) on my 29 Chevy. My problem, on engaging the starter these two gears don’t seem to match. The engine turns while these gears are making a terrible growling noose, as if badly mis matched. On removal, the Bendix dog seems to have chafe marks on both sides of the teeth, as if they are too fat to mesh with the teeth on the ring. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

OP Floats Backyard Mechanic Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 275 Cape Town, South Africa	Hi Guys, I found the problem. The starter shaft has a crack through the woodruff key area, causing it to bend slightly. The bent shaft caused the armature to touch the field coils and cause the horrible noise. Regards, Chris Cape Town 28 Model A RPU, 29 Chevy Phaeton, 67 E Type FHC, 67 250SL Pagoda, 83 911 SC
