Default Found out what happend to my starter

My car wouldnt start. It sounded like the starter had come off the flywheel, because it was spinning, but not cranking my motor. As it ends up the selenoid was fine. The gear was comming out against the flywheel, but it wasnt spinning. I guess the 'drive' broke. I dont know what the drive is, but as i interpreted it, the gear broke off the shaft.

not to get off topic, but my cousin has an old nissan sentra, that stupid thing has the starter under the intake and its a pain to get too, its right on top of the tranny so you cant get it from the bottom, it sucks, took me forever
