2014 starter / flywheel / ring gear issues (Update: repaired under warranty)

[dspace9]

My 2014 Mirage has had starter issues, specifically a loud grindy noise when the solenoid doesn't engage with the flywheel. I knew it from day one the starter's got issues, and the dealer gave me the run around for years,

Now after getting information on here, they cut a deal with me for new fly wheel, starter, etc. Parts for the Mirage aren't cheap so I will keep the old starter.

Thanks anyone who helped me along this path and note if your early Mirage has grindy noises it's likely the same issue. Google on the Mirage forum "Engine Noise During Starting", it's a .pdf Technical Bulletin.
