Starter problems

this is on a 1992 TSi

So the car has an engine transplant and we are hooking everything back up. We are ready to start the engine and turned the key and spun the starter. The starter just spun and didn't spin the engine at all. Ok so we thought bad starter so we switched and installed another one. Same result. We rechecked all the grounds and made sure connections are tight. Can anyone think of what we have missed or what would be causing this. We are at a loss right now. Also as you turn the key to start the car, it makes a weird clicking noise for just a little bit. Soming is wrong with the silonoid?

Thanks!

I am posting this so if anyone else has this same problem they can fix it. SO did you know that the AWD flywheels are different then the FWD, because we didn't untill this little problem.

SO if anyone does any engine swapping with a different FWD or AWD, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FLYWHEEL!!!!!!

and yes i feel dumb
