How do you fix a starter that won't turn over but when you turn the ignition the starter makes a whirring noise?

A whirring noise is indicative of trouble with the starter drive (also known as the bendix) which is usually replaceable. Before you undertake the chore of replacing it, check the price of a new or rebuilt starter - it may be worth it to just repkace the starter.
