If you have the starter off pry on the ring gear to turn the motor and see if it slips. If you have a timing mark hole look through it while trying to start and see if the ring gear slips.

When I replaced my clutch and ring gear among other things,the new one spun,so I put some 1' welds at 90 degree spacing. No problems and an easy fix.
