My first "quess" would be wear on the ring gear. You should
inspect it all the way around for dammaged teeth.
Now that someone else brought up the subject of datsun cars, I
have a friend (not my only one) that has an very old datsun p/u with a
1200 cc engine he is convinced that it shares many parts with a MG mig.
If any one knows about this please e-mail me back. His machine
shop lost his distributor drive shaft and the oil pump drive shaft.

Thanks LEX
