John, I'm not sure what you mean by "what to do about a ring gear that
has slipped" as the only real fix is to pull your tranny and replace it.
It's not fun, but then again I'm getting ready to pull mine for the 3rd
time in a little over a year. First time was the ring gear, and the
rest is a lengthy story.
See, http://www.geocities.com/ralittle2/Tech_Session_Log.html
I'm not discouraging the article, as there is always something to learn.
Cheers,

Green Country Triumphs works on lots of member's cars at the Greasy
Hands
Garage. This weeks project was getting the head off one member's 76 TR6
for
a rebuild. We tried the rope trick (sticking a piece of rope in a spark
plug hole, rocking the car in gear to push the head off) and it worked
like
a charm. Thanks 6-Pack. The members in Oklahoma appreciate the
information. See you in Bowling Green.
By the way, next weeks project is a tech session on what to do about a
ring
gear that has slipped on the flywheel preventing the starter from
engaging.
Since this is not a worn out topic to my knowledge we plan an article
for
the magazine to show one way of addressing the problem.
