Default Starter problem

Swapped out trannies, moved the starter from my old b16 transmission to my itr transmission.

Turn the key, most days it will start right away. But some days it sounds like the starter is just spinning. (?)

Thing to note, the day I did the tranny swap my gf said there was a spark (ground not fully tight) on the tranny housing.

I'm currently looking for a new starter, but figured I would post this up. Never happened before the transmission swap, so I'm wondering if I took a wrong turn somewhere.

Also, my buddy shorted/sparked on his starter, and it just stopped working...so I figured mine is still ok, from that perspective.

Thanks.

Sounds like it's not engaging because it's too short. I don't know though, because I have done very little work with starters on Hondas...

Free bump... I'm interested to hear if there's any differences in starters.
