I had the same thing and in my case it was the flywheel eating the nose cone off of the starter. 6 months later my car wouldn't start and guess what, it was the starter. The nose cone finally tore off and was jamming the flywheel and the starter wouldn't engage. So you may want to pull your starter out and check it out.
