Hi. Yesterday Ive put the ignition key on the starter position while it was running. Then ive heard the grinding. My car is a 92 240sx with 131K and this is the first time it happened on this car. So what could b the future trouble when this happens?? just curious

For future reference, don't do that anymore. :)

A little teeth gnashing won't hurt either your flywheel or starter.... once.
