Give your starter solid teeth to bite into with the Pioneer Automatic Transmission Ring Gear / Flywheel Ring Gear, part number FRG-164F. It is a direct-fit replacement designed to fit and function like the original part on the 1972-1974 American Motors Ambassador, 1972-1978 American Motors Gremlin, 1972-1977 American Motors Hornet, 1972-1974 American Motors Javelin, 1972-1978 American Motors Matador, and 1975-1977 American Motors Pacer. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
This part is listed under both names: Automatic Transmission Ring Gear and Flywheel Ring Gear.
- Starter engagement: The ring gear's teeth mesh with the starter motor, which lets the engine crank over and start.
- Wear replacement: Years of engagement with the starter can leave ring gear teeth worn or broken. When that happens, the ring gear has to be replaced.
- Original-style fit: Pioneer designs its ring gears to fit and function the same as the original part, with durability and long life in mind.
Signs this part may need replacing include a grinding or clashing noise when starting, a starter that spins without cranking the engine, or a no-crank condition at certain engine positions. Inspect the ring gear teeth and the starter drive before replacing, because a worn starter pinion can produce similar symptoms.
