If it's a winding noise and NOT a grinding noise then most likely it is a bad bendix (gear) in the starter. Does it have a Delco, Autolite or MoPar starter????

Also, in Delco and MoPar starters, the gear in the starter has a sprag clutch made onto it that can go bad too.

PAY CLOSE attention to what brand and source the starter bendix is and let us know. THis is the second report of a 'rebuilt starter' bad bendix this week.
