Starter help

[Slow89_lx]

I just recently went to a c4 set up my starter started making a grinding noise then it wouldn't start the car I could hear the starter working but not turning the car over, so I went out and replaced the starter I did check the fly wheel and the teeth are shiny but all still intact I'm just not sure of what I can try I'm lost? Can anybody help??

Sounds like the pinion gear is not fully seating in to the fly wheel. When you did the swap if the original placement of the starter didnt change i would say to replace the starter. It might be the mechanism the retracts and exracts the pinion gear is bad.
