depends on the motor, what do you have in it?   i am also not sure what you mean by "hits a little right after it starts".  where does it hit? do you have headers?

If it grinds, you need to shim it.

I hate to ask but is that one of the bargain basement starters? I Had one that came on a car I bought. It looked the part of a high torque starter but it was a cheap version. It would grind like you mentioned. I replaced it with one from Napa and everything was fine.
