Ok just got my 90 eclipse fwd turbo back together. It sat over winter while I put a tubular manifold, external wg, 20g turbo, wideband o2, and a few more bolt ons but the car ran over last summer/begining of fall parked it to build it up a little more and change some gaskets. But my issue is that something is not right withthe tranny anymore. I went to start it after the build was done and the starter just grinds on the flywheel. So I put a new battery in due to it bein a bit old and still had the same issue also put a new starter motor and solinoid in and still having the issue. It worked fine before she was parked for the build and I did not take the tranny off or pull the motor out it all stayed in while I did some mods and cleaning. The flywheel isn't showing and teeth missing and like I said brand new starter. I went to try moving the crank pully and it'll move just with a lot of force and it sounds like the same grinding noise from the flywheel and starter not catching once u get to the spot it just slips off....I've got the right starter flywheel ect nothing has changed from when it ran other than a starter and some mods any ideas people?
 
Just an of the wall. But maybe the starter did go bad while sitting and the new one you bought was bad from get go?
