are you sure you are installing the starter right? sound like it is not even engaging the flywheel at all. Either you are not installing the starter right or your flywheel is shattered.

It's his flywheel. If he knew how to drive a stick, this wouldn't have happened.

1. At what point (what has happened) you decided you need a starter?
2. Do you hear the starter run by itself or you can hear engine turning with it?
3. If the timing belt broken you’ll “feel” engine turning but a lot easier then usual
4. Try to look trough the starter “window” in the transm. & see if flywheel’s teeth are damaged, then try to turn it a little with the pry bar (taking the spark plug out should/will help.

how do you know its the starter and not ignition switch ? any noise from starter at all ?? need to check if ignition reaching starter solenoid circuit first
