Default what could be wrong?

Well ever since I bought my car, about 2 months later I had to replace the starter, so Iput a new one in wich lasted me a good nother 3 months and went out, they work good and then start grinding and getting worse and worse until they finally wont turn the motor over. What I dont get is every time we take the bad starters out, the teeth on them look fine and so do the flywheel teeth from what I could see. There has got to be something major wrong down there, because my clutch and everything else is super stiff and I just want to get rid of this problem! does anyone have any ideas where to start? I guess first thing to do is drop the trans tomarrow and check it all out. Please help me guys! Thanks!

Most likely your flywheel. I had similiar problems and I thought my flywheel was fine until I dropped the trans and actually looked at it
