Metal to metal sound when cranking

i tried to jump my car off and the car was turning over trying to crank but then I heard this loud noise metal to metal sound. The sound you hear when the car is already running then you try to crank it while it’s running.

I put a new battery in the car and I still have the same outcome. It’s make a loud sound when trying to crank the car. I have no idea on where to start. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

 

Starter, look the flexplate over real close

 

Ok thanks Hugger! Where is the starter located?

 

passenger side under exhaust manifold, check for loose starter/flex plate or flywheel bolts, as well as proper spacing of the starter to the late/wheel. might just need a simple shim

 

Ok thank you so much for your help.

 

If it was OK prior to trying to jump start it probably broke the nose cone.

 

That's my thoughts too.

 

Also solenoid could have become weak, .... or defective bendix drive.

Thank you all for your thoughts. Soon as a get it repaired I will give some feedback on what I found. Thanks

 

Hey fellas! You all were correct thank u so much. It was the starter and the nose cone was cracked. I replaced the starter and it fired right up Thanks again!0

 

OR, kickback from a bad battery also.

 

You know that little bracket that everybody says is too hard to put on...
