sounds like starter or flywheel. I had an '89 323 that would grind badly on start up occassionally. I pulled the transmission and the flywheel was missing two or three teeth.

huh, how long has it been doing this? I'm curious cause my SA has been doing this for about 3 months, but about 4 days ago, the grinding sound continues after the motor is warmed up and upon excelleration or cruise speed about every 3 to 10 seconds. So now after reading this thread, it could very well be the fly wheel. I'll get both checked out today...
