Default LS3 starter issue!!!

Hello all,

My LS3's starter is giving me some problems...

Here is a video of what it's doing.

Here is a link to the starter that I purchased.

When I first swapped in the motor it cranked fine the first time and then it started doing this. I noticed the starter gear was not retracting so I installed a couple of washers and it cranked fine for a few weeks and started doing this again. Once again the starter gear is not retracting. I removed the washers today and reinstalled the starter and it started twice. Now it's doing the same thing again...

Anyone have an idea of what it could be? The starter is only a few weeks old.
