Detailed Description

The FRG-164A is a clutch flywheel ring gear designed for Jeep drivetrains that require a 164-tooth ring gear. The starter motor engages the ring gear teeth to crank the engine, so damaged teeth can cause hard starting, grinding, or no-crank conditions. This replacement ring gear is manufactured to match the original part’s fit and function for dependable service in Jeep Cherokee, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, and other listed models. If you are replacing a worn Jeep flywheel ring gear, Pioneer Cables FRG-164A provides the correct tooth count and dimensions for the application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the tooth count and outside diameter before installation, especially on Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Wrangler applications. Inspect the flywheel surface and starter drive condition at the same time, since worn starter components can damage a new ring gear. Confirm the replacement matches the original 164-tooth specification and 13.83-inch outer diameter for proper engagement.
