Starter spins but doesnt engage flywheel

[MollEclipse]

I did an auto to 5 speed tranny swap and when i went to start it, the starter spun but didnt engage the flywheel. I bought the correct starter for the tranny, but i bought the flywheel used. Might it be the wrong flywheel? The clutch bolted to the flwheel fine and that is the correct clutch for the car. I dont know why it wont spin the flywheel.

I'd bet you got the wrong flywheel. Did you ask if it was AWD or FWD?

a/t and m/t starters have diff depths on the nose cones-
what starter did you use ? even tho' you said you used the right one, ya never no

Yeah it can be the wrong f/w
