NOTE: When removing the transmission the ring gear remains on the engine.
The ring gear (20) with 4 segments for the position indicator of the ignition system is forged from one piece, balanced and bolted to the driven plates
(17) and (18).
The 1.5 mm thick driven plate outer diameter is a machined fit for the centering of the ring gear.
