When I try to start the car I get spinning sound like the starter is not touching the fly wheel. So do you yhink you know what the problem is.

Check and test for a failed bendix gear in starter --flywheel damage or motor seized

Starter soups but doesn't engage. Clicking sound: you hear it spinning with a click sound before it starts spinning. No grinding sound. The mechanism to engage the fly wheel could be faulty, probably it is seized, or battery doesn't have enough power to make the solenoid fully pull mechanism (check battery amps charge if low. You may need to look at the starter as someone turns the motor over and make sure it's engaging all the way to fly wheel.
Sometimes you may need to Shem or file down where the two bolts go into the starter too get it far enough into the starter casing to get it to engage.

If you starter is turning with a high spin sound then your starter is bad or you have a flat spot on your fly wheel. Sometimes you can take a hammer and tap on the starter to get to turn again. If you
have a flat spot and you get past it then you will most likely to keep starting it for awhile until you get to that spot again.

Sounds like the teeth on the flywheel ring gear are damaged.

starter, take out and try across battery and it should whirr and jump out as if connecting with flywheel, if no spray the whole starter with WD40 inside and leave overnight. worked for me.

may be the starter because the gear is not kicking out to turn your fly wheel

sounds like the starter is not disengaging the fly wheel quickly like it should when you turn the key the starter cog connects upto a fly wheel that has teeth all around it when the teeth of starter cog connect between teen on wheel it spins it to crank your car then goes back to starter if you hold your key on after starting the noise you hear is the starter cog(teeth ) still engaged in wheel if this is the sound it needs to be serviced not neccassarily replaced

Sounds like the starter drive is shot, best thing to do is replace starter with new or rebuild.

You need to pull the starter out and check the drive gear. If the drive gear is no good you will have to replace the starter. Make sure the cogs on the fly wheel are okay. If the fly wheel is damaged you will have to replace the fly wheel.

Most Likely The Starter I Know We Changed It Is What your Thinking.
