You may need to shim the starter. When you turn the key the gear from the starter is slamming into the teeth on the flywheel. Did you get any shims with the new starter? If not you may need to buy some. You just want to shim it out just enough where the teeth from the starter and imbedded into the teeth on the flywheel. Not too much and not too little otherwise you will chip or break a tooth off. You are trying for a good mesh of teeth to teeth.
