Hey all first post here, so I have a problem about a year and a half ago I bought my 93 Eclipse GS it has the 2.0 NA with an automatic transmission but the problem started last month when my starter went out. I bought a new one and that's when the noise started. It honestly sounds like the starter is not disengaging at all so I took the starter back they tested it and the test came back good but the sound is still there. I checked all of the fuses and all the cables so now I reach out to all of you as I am out of ideas.

Welcome! You came to the right place with an awesome group of very knowledgeable and friendly DSMers.
That being said, I can't hear anything in your picture. ;)
I'll see myself out now.
