Good to hear yours was a easy fix, mine isn't going without a fight. I. I dropped my transmission found a bunch of metal filings and chewed flywheel teeth so I swapped the flywheel checked my backing plate to be sure I didn't have a fwd one, and reinstalled everything along with a new clutch since I had it open. Went to start and it is making the exact same noise and not starting, the only thing I found that was off was the starter could pivot a mm or two, but no matter where I positioned it it makes the noise, I have another 2g here that I am dropping the transmission in and tried the starter from it, but it has the same grinding sound, I am at a loss, I am sure the flywheel is good and don't think both starters would make the same noise. I am going to try poviting it into different positions To see if I can make the sound go away, any ideas would be great
