Detailed Description

The FRG-130V ring gear is the toothed component mounted to the flywheel that the starter motor turns to crank the engine. Over time, repeated starter engagement can wear down or break the teeth, leading to starting problems. This Pioneer Cables ring gear is specified with a 9.993-inch inside diameter, 10.878-inch outside diameter, and 0.375-inch thickness, with 130 teeth to match the original application. It is a practical replacement for Volkswagen Beetle flywheel service where the original ring gear has deteriorated. This part number, FRG-130V, is also referenced in interchange listings for related OE-style applications.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 4474 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Worn starter teeth that prevent proper engine cranking
