Most of the time it's a bad bendix. It doesn't engage completely, and that chews up the teeth on the bendix and on the starter ring ... I'd get a new starter and put it in. If it engages properly without making racket, you'll probably be able to get by without changing the starter ring, which is a much bigger hassle!
