    Wondering if it's the right starter for the engine, or it may need shimming.

    Remanufactured starter? It may also be a problem with the over-running clutch, which the remanufacturer did not catch. I own a 2000 Taurus, with the 3.0L Duratec engine, and these cars are not known for starter problems. Be sure to clean the starter motor connections thoroughly. Ground is through the mounting bolts, so ensure they are clean.
