had a similar issue a while back, possible that the gear wheel on the starter is loose. although the starter itself is working/spinning, the gear wheel with the teeth that inserts onto the flywheel teeth may have somehow gotten loose/broke and isn't spinning along with the starter. I had to get a new starter...damn cheap ass autozone pos starters...good thing for the lifetime warranty, let me know if that's what happened to your starter
