Whenever I've had starter problems similar to what you've described, I'd lubricate the shaft/bendix gear real well and (most importantly) tap on the shaft to loosen a stuck bendix gear. More times than not, the gear has just become stuck (due to rust, dirt, ???) so it won't slide-out/engage once the starter motor kicks-in.
Give it a try... good chance it will help.
