If it makes that terrible grinding sound, it because the teeth on the starter drive gear aren't matching up with flywheel teeth. I'd have to check both, the starter drive gear and flywheel teeth. Some vehicles have a flywheel cover piece, which you can remove and examine the flywheel teeth. good luck
