Gator has a good suggestion. Used to see this a lot in Ford engines, but I'm sure it can happen in most makes. Running a 6 volt starter on 12 volts can increase the risk of this happening, but shouldn't cause it to happen this often.

Do you have a good starter ready to go? I would mount it and do a quick test cycle with the starter, then remove the starter and see how far the gear is engaging. Also, check the endplay as suggested.
