used three different starters and none worked. Maybe it's your flywheel. Are you sure it's the right one? Could it be bent, or missing teeth? I would take it apart again since the tranny isn't up and check. Let us know, Keith.

if everything is in there correctly I'd be looking at the teeth on the starter and the flywheel
