The ring gear is the gear the starter drives to turn the engine, often if a starter fails and it is not repaired quickly the Bendix drive will damage the ring gear, to replace this the transmission will have to be removed and a new gear fitted to the fly wheel, you can see the ring gear when the starter is out and damaged teeth will be easily seen as you turn the motor over by hand.
