Todd,

It's been a while since I had this problem...

The symptom I had was a loud squeal, not grinding, so your problem may be different!

Another thought: There are two different starter drive gears if my recall is accurate. One is for a flywheel and the other for a flexplate which - I think - have different numbers of teeth.

BTW, is there anything behind the ring gear that the starter drive gear could make contact with after it is (too) fully engaged?

More possibilities?

Tom
