maybe it's cracked then, you could try going in there with a tilt mirror and flashlight or a inspection camera and take a look

Went through this with my 99. Multiple starters and a new flex. A good transmission guy was finally able to shim my starter correctly quite a few years ago.

how much was the new flex..yea ive put new starters on have two new ones now lol. shims everything.. only thing i havent done is replaced the bolts on the starter one seems a little bent
A few bolts and the inspection cover is off and you can see the flywheel, easy to see if it's bad. If you have a bent starter bolt there is human error involved, they don't just bend from use. Either wrong bolts installed, very common by humans, or starter not installed properly.
