wrong flywheel/starter combo. dont you need a awd flywheel for the gsr box and the vr4 may have the fwd one? someone else will know more about the fwd/awd flywheel/starter combo than me

I've had a similar problem. Just had to adjust the 2 bolts that bolt starter to bell housing. I have a ggsr motor with lgsr box. U need to line it up right

u need A new flywheel. They have to be pretty good nick to work I have been through this before. Also make sure your gearbox locating lugs are still there and in good nick if they are not there this will also cause this. They often break after hitting big bumps or hard launches. Its a vr4 gearbox thing. They only have 4 bolts to hold the box on. One is a pissy little bolt so they all have to be spot on. People often leave out that little bolt at the back and that can also lead to the front bolt snapping so check them all

It sounds like it is not sitting flush. Ensure the gearbox is up hard against the block and also ensure that the starter is sitting flush against the sandwich plate.
