Question starter, flywheel troubles

hello there everbody.

I recentaly had to install a new starter on my 94.5 psd,but when I went to crank it over the starter would engage but made a sound like it was not engaging with the flywheel right.So I tried it a couple of times and it engaged and started right up .

Is there something wrong with the flywheel??

Or is there somsthing wrong with the starter I bought??

You may need to inspect the flywheel teeth. Remove the 5 bolts from the inspection cover to view flywheel teeth,one of the bolts is located above the starter.

take the starter and have it bench tested, and make sure that you have the correct starter there are two that those models came with
