<VV> todays latest project

[Daniel Monasterio]

It has been an usual failure (broken starter's nose) on manual shifts due to flywheels with loose rivets but, souns weird on a PG. 

Only thing that comes to my mind is a bad flex plate. I would check on the starter ring for woobling and excentricity, while turning the engine by hand (without removing diff.)
