I just had my engine in the 1955 bird rebuilt and discovered I needed a new starter ring gear. I ordered a new one from CASCO but it appears the the old gear was tack welded on the torque converter plate. I can't seem to find info anywhere on how to replace the ring gear for the cars equipped with the fordomatic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Royce

How many tack welds? The only solution I can see is to grind the welds off, attach the new ring gear and get the unit re-balanced. You might have to tack weld the new ring gear on.
