New Trans, Starter grind?

[Lofty]

Well, I just replaced my Transmission with a awesome working one, no starter problems beforehand.
Now, when I put the new trans in, the starter grinds when I try to start it, not when I'm driving, just when I start it.

I'm not sure what to do, help?

Make sure all your trans bolts are tight. Also make sure your starter is tight. reason why I ask is because I had them come loose and back the starter out on the flywheel and grind.

Is your starter plate in? And unbent?

Is your starter plate in? And unbent?

I believe so, I'd have to check. I don't know how any of that would change with a new trans.

Doesn't the starter automatically adjust itself?
I remember reading something about that.

For what it's worth - same thing happened to me; I ended up putting another starter in and it's been fine since. It there another starter laying around to check with? If your transmission is in (allignment dowels?) and bolts are tight it may be a variable worth eliminating.
