You can get a new ring gear for less than 100 bucks...trouble is most of the time you have to pull the motor to change one...

I recently paid $100. $50 for ring gear, and $ 50 buck for a machine shop to put it on the flywheel.

Like said, a ring gear will run you close to $50 and then about 1/2 hour labor to beat the old one off wire wheel the area heat and install the new one. Worst part is, you have to remove the motor which takes about an hour and a half and another 2 to put it back in. Maybe 3 to make sure everything is right.
