I got interupted while typing that last post, you are of course right, WON'T work on an Eagle or any of my Jeeps for that matter, I was just pointing out where the rumor came from. The only reason I can see to ever do it was the reason that I did, the starter got stuck in and the bendix gear got torn up, but so did the ring gear,( I know it shouldn't, but it did) so we dropped the flex plate & replaced it, VERY tight fit even in that scenario.
