1 and 2G RX7...

At Mid-Ohio this weekend I had to stop on track during the Saturday race. It's long story! Anyway, I told the workers I didn't need a flat tow I'd drive it in. When I get it and hit the starter it just free-wheels. Get back to the pits and discover the ring gear on the flywheel has seperated from the flywheel. It appears these are assembled with an interference fit only. My buddy, who is somewhat of a rotor head, says he had a 225mm flywheel do the same thing one time. The problem turned out to be nothing more than a PITA but it could of been hugely serious if the ring gear had gotten caught on the pressure plate and decided to take a ride through the bellhousing. Check your flywheels this winter.
