i have searched this and only found one other thread about this and it didnt help at all but i was driving my gsx and i started hering a noise that sounded like something with the clutch then it kept getting louder so i stoped and towed it home. and when i get home i tried to start it it started then it just like stoped. i can turn the flywheel over but whenever i try to start it it just makes a big clunking noise. i have the trans out now and it looks like something was hitting on the flexplate. (the starter) i think. i just want to know if anyone else has had this happen or if anyone knows for sure what this noise could be. thanks
 
well i put my other starter in that i had and it still did it. but i took the trans out and there were marks on the pressure plate but i cant really tell if its from the starter or not.
 
Check the flywheel for broken or worn down teeth.
