Okay, I have a Mazda 94' and I changed the starter on it, And since I did it's been giving me a loud grinding noise. And when I take the starter off again it's grinned the teeth of the starter.
How would I go about shimming it, I read that might help it. So How do I shim the starter?

Also I used a Ford Starter on it, Mazda was created by Ford so I figured that would work. Am I using the right starter for it?
the Starter was identical tot he old one though and the old one didn't give that problem.

And how do you go about to shim it? Someone else told me that might just be the problem.
