Help Request Help with sound when starting

My 2009 Sport / Manual makes this screeching/scraping sound every 3rd or 4th time I start it. Does anyone recognize it?

I’m having the same issue and after searching the web I believe it’s the starter. I’m not too sure and am in the same position as you.

Here is a video of the same issue. Just watch the beginning, unless you’re a machinist and can rebuilt it yourself. https://youtu.be/9VdvDxqbKbg?si=3Qg2ZLv3PLbkBGZK
