I think I found the problem ! Car bump started in 2nd today! Drove it home finally, jacked it up, took the starter out, it came out in pieces.. gonna buy a new starter ASAP and hopefully that fixes the problem

You can see it’s in 2 pieces.. flywheel still looks clean

I suspect the break was caused by you jump started it in 5th gear. The mighty engine and flywheel won. You might want to spin the crank 360-degree and examine all the flywheel teeth for damage.
