On an automatic trans it's a flex plate. The engine stops at the same spot on the flex plate/ flywheel every time thus once the teeth are shot on that spot your are done. Your Bendix is stuck and not engaging the ring gear. 3 bolts hold the starter on plus the battery cable. Not the easiest job but can be done. Take it to a shop that rebuilds starters and it will be ready to reinstall.
