Starter Killer.

[Premium72]

i keep tearing up my starter. i checked every thing it looks to be str8. but the fly wheel doesnt seem to line up with the gear in the starter. the fly wheel is half lined up with the bushing at the end of the shaft for the gear in the starter and half lined up with the gear. and its breaking the nose cone after about 4-5 days of use.. any one have any thoughts. my step dad(previous owner) said he shanged the fly wheel and tourqe converter. but doesnt remember how he did the starter. any help would be great. thanx. w.
