Question `87 Carrera starter gear -> flywheel engagement problem/niose

This used to happen just every once in a while, now it's happening a little more frequently.

It sounds just as you tried to start a car that is already running. Sometimes it will happen continuously until I put the car in gear (3rd or 4th) rock the car then it starts normally. I suspect the starter gear doesn't engage/mesh with the flywheel on first attempt due to positioning and each subsequent attempt it just does the same until the flywheel moves a little. Just not sure why it does it in the first place

So anyone else experienced this little anomaly with their 911s? Starter problem or flywheel gear. Car has 57K miles.

TIA
