[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 94875, member: 432"] It could be the teeth on the starter and ring gear are not meshing together as they are supposed to. You could take the starter off and check the teeth on it. You could also take the inspection plate off the bottom of the bell housing and check the teeth on the ring gear/flywheel to see if there are any ground down or worn teeth on it. You will have to turn the engine over by hand and inspect the whole circumference of the ring gear. If the teeth are not meshing it will continue to get worse until it will not start. If that happens you may be able to start it by turning the engine over by hand to a point where the teeth are in better shape on the ring gear. I have seen some vehicles that have a bad spot on the ring gear an inch or two long and cause this kind of problem. [/QUOTE]
