starter fiasco

so my starter has been messed up for a while, and I got around to takin it out today hooked some power up to it and wasnt activating fast enough...so I got this starter that is brand new from a buddy, but it had no bendix gear, so I put my old one on there...hooked it up to power worked fine...bolted it back up and still jsut spun and didnt turn them otor over...so could it be the gear?

Starters can differ depending on their intent - auto vs. manual tranny.

You had better make sure you have the right stater or you could tear up the flywheel rear bad.
