Unbolt the starter and drop the torque converter cover, put a socket on the front harmonic balancer crank bolt and have someone rotate the motor clockwise while you inspect the ringear for any damage. If you have any damaged teeth you will be pulling that sucker out and replacing it and the starter.

thats what im thinking...its on car ramps now and will have a look after lunch....if ring gear shagged do i drop the box to change or does the motor need pulling? the workshop manual tells me the motor and auto cant be taken out as a single unit.....wtf not?

Hi Nifty:24
The engine and transmission cannot be taken out as a complete unit as there is not enough engine bay clearance for the transmission to clear the tunnel.
Simply remove the exhaust and gearbox crossmember and move the transmission back with converter still in transmission then remove the flexplate with transmission in position. Note manual transmissions will have to be removed fully as the gearbox crossmember is not removeable.

back fire on engines is usually a tuneing/carburettor issue (can sometimes be a cam timing issue)
if the starter motor makes a noise after a backfire has occured it is usually a cracked starter motor housing or loose starter motor mounting that is causing it.:drink
