Hey everyone,
I am up a creek. I have no idea what do to next. Bought a 2002 subaru impreza outback a few years ago. Had a new engine installed prior to my purchase. Had 140000 miles on the body and has around 100000 miles on the engine. A few weeks ago began to have problems with the engine starting. Thought it was a loose cable, cleaned and replaced the cables. Ran fine a few more days then wouldn't start. Replaced the battery. Still wouldn't start. Replaced the alternator and the starter. Heard a grind noise and it started. Turned it off and then it wouldn't start again. Took the starter off, checked the flywheel with a mirror and a light no damage or bad teeth seen. Cannot turn the flywheel but for what I see no damage. Replaced the starter 2 more times (first was TYC most recent was bosch). Now all I get is clicking from the starter solenoid with slow turns from the flywheel. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

No, can't turn the engine freely by hand. Checked the voltage with the last 2 starters under load, as well as the battery it was all okay. Under neutral no change, no difference. Will take off the new starter and try to turn the flywheel again as well. Can try this newest starter underload too.
Thanks for the help!
