The bendix gets weak and either won't stay engaged or won't come off the flywheel, either will cause a grinding noise. If you take it off and run it over to Napa or Ford, they can put it on a tester and let you know if the bendix is weak. You can replace just the bendix if you are so inclined. My re-man cost $280.00~

If it happens again check to make sure the starter is tight.
