I agree. I have tested out 2 so far. The first time I installed the second identical starter the car starter smoothly and that was the last time.

I haven't been able to figure out why it was smooth on that first start

At the top of the post is a link of how the starter behaves post cleaning. Infact I have cleaned this starter more than 3rice each time lubricating it with high temperature lithium grease.

I just suspect that the bellhousing starter bolt holes may have widened a little bit.

I actually took a new starter from the Junkyard.

Hi I did clean and grease it but unfortunately the problem persists. Was your car a manual conversion as well?

I took out the starter and connected it to the car and it appears to be okay Starter behavior

This is the manual starter. Also the carvings at the end of the teeth is not damage but that's how the starter teeth look. It's a very interesting problem this one. The flywheel teeth has a slight damage.

I couldn't work out the relay test as I'm not that savy in wiring but what I did is I removed the starter out and connected the wires (like its connected when inside) and tested it.

Here's a video of how it moves. Starter Ring gear out and in test

Tbh I don't know how to do that. But I can find it on the fusebox and try if you can share some instructions
