Question: About the Starter.
I had a question, What part does the starter grab onto, and Im not talking about the flywheel, is it called a ring gear? Because my starter has a hard time grabbing onto the flywheel, it spins freely after a few cranks, then maybe 10 seconds later after a few spins, it cranks over. Btw, I just got the starter replaced, so the teeth are fresh. Need help asap !

sounds like a defective starter.
The ring gear is a steel part and it is pressed on to the cast iron flywheel.
It would be HIGHLY unlikely if the ring gear were to come loose on the flywheel.

I dont thnk anything is loose, Im thinking the ring gear's teeth are worn. Thats why the starters teeth are not catching onto the flywheel. Does that sound right?

Those teeth are pretty hearty. As billman said, the starter is most likely junk. You hear the motor spinning, but not producing enough torque to turn the crank over.

Hmm, okay I think im convinced the starter is shit, Do you guys happen to know if anyone is selling a used OEM Denso Starter? Im not trying to pay full price at the dealer, or possibly know a site, that sells the OEM starter for a goood but not too expensive price?
