[W126 Coupe] Starter ring gear?

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Mike:

Anyway the new starter has a bad solenoid?  You know the trick have 
someone hit the ignition switch while you are under there tapping the 
starter or solenoid body with a tool or hammer if you can reach the 
darned thing.  Or is it possible that the alignment where the ring gear 
is sent through the bell housing to connect with the flywheel is off a 
bit?  Sure seems like a lot of work having to drop the tranny if it's 
one of the above.  Just my 2.
