Yeah, what a pain. Now I'm going to separate the bell housing and get it welded back together. Also noticed removing it all that on the driver side there wasn't an alignment dowel for the bell housing to engine.. I think that's what is causing my issues. Also gotta replace the flywheel that's chewed up and need a new throwout bearing. This is gunna be fun.

What better time to the clutch?
Check the starter pinion gear moves in and out freely with out too much slop.
If the pinion locked to the fly wheel it would try to spin the starter at what " 100000 RPM " and cause such a malfunction
I would hate to see you get it all buttoned up and have it happen again.
Cheers keep us updated and let us know if we can help

Thanks for the feedback Arow! Which is the pinion gear?  Is that the little gear on the starter motor that pushes out and meshes with the starter gear on the flywheel? 


That's honestly my worst nightmare, getting this all buttoned up with all new parts and it blowing up again... Lol

Yeah, don't want that gear running non-stop lol. It's going to be hard to see inside once it's back together to make sure it fully disengages. Is there any tricks to checking this that you know of?

give it a try when its still out just a quick bump with the battery the gear should jump out super fast and back in super fast when stopped .
I don't now what starter is in a CJ some are push out by the cylinoid some just use enertia but either way fast out and fast in
