As long as you take it easy there should be no problem

I think it has some thing to with a relay maybe.

Since no one has answered yet, I will comment. When any of these starters turned, their bendix switch should have extended to catch the flywheel. On some, a pin is used to position the bendix on the starter shaft. Can not say why original bendix does not work except that it must be pinned to the shaft. For replacement starters, there can be differences in the gear size of the bendix. Even some gears have different amounts of teeth on the bendix gear. Have not heard of needing shims to mount the starter to the Ford engine, but old GM products were shimmed. For that matter, some windings inside starters could be reversed, especially in Marine dual engine applications. You went to a lot of work to change the flywheel, check the length of the starter to see if it is mounting deep enough to catch the flywheel. Maybe the bell housing is interfering with installation.

Watch the video. M5OD BUSHING REPLACEMENT

Under the dash on the drivers side.

Could be a bad ignition coil or the TFI module that controls the coils' circuits.

Hi Manuel: First thing is to make sure it's not overfilled. The check is to be done when the fluid is hot. Next, it's always easier to find the source of a leak if you can see, so having it as clean as possible is really important. Use engine de-greaser or engine shampoo to get it nice and clean. Then run it for a short time, and then look for the source of the leak. If you can't see the leak, run it a short while more/ Eventually you'll fing where the fluid is leaking, and we'll see what can be done to fix it. Hang in there!

Sounds like a Timing Chain or Gear broke.

Replace the ignition barrel. Inside is a lot of switches that wear out. It could also be the starter relay. Although this is least likely.

What is?

the sound you hear is the starter grinding against broken teeth on the flywheel, for that to be repaired the flywheel on the vehicle will need to be replaced.

Starter Bendix solenoid. Change entire starter. If planing to keep car long time buy a lifetime warranty one.
