Hello, I have a problem with my '55 Fairlane (312, Fordomatic, air cooled trans ). When turning the ignition switch the starter spins but doesn't engage the flywheel. I have replaced the starter drive with another used one and it worked for a few weeks, but now this problem has returned. I noticed when removing the starter that the bellhousing gasket is missing, also there is slight movement in the ring gear. I don't know if these things would contribute to a lack of engagement or whether it could be something else. BTW I'm in the UK so unfortunately I'll have to ship any parts from the Fairlane's place of birth, therefore I'm asking you experts for advice before ordering any unnecessary parts! Thanks, Chris
