Default Help!!!! Starter Problems, 91 F150, 5.8L

I have a 91 F150, 5.8 Liter engine. Every time I install the starter it works for about 10 uses, but after that it seems to move out of place (even though it is tight) and it make a sharp grinding noise. There is a front plate missing off the bottom of the transmission and it was like that when I got it. Was wondering if there is a spacer that is available, or if anyone can offer any help?

when you say it seems to move out of place, does it physically look like it moved, or just assuming since its grinding its moving?
