Alright cool. Hopefully the flexplate isn't screwed. You think it's just the starter gear hanging up? Is this common for these vehicles? If the starter looks fine, should I try greasing it or should I just F it and replace the starter?

It is unmistakably the starter. It makes the same sound it makes when the key is turned with the engine running. The starter itself looks like an easier job than what I have done before on cars so I should be able to tackle it.
