Starter Differences?

I was wondering if someone can help here. I have a JDM EJ20R motor and have it mated to a 1994 Legacy FWD transmission. Just tried cranking it over tonight, and the starter is quite a ways away from the ring gear. The starter I am using as well as the flywheel are from JDM car. Would anyone know if there are different length starters available? It is hard to tell from auto parts pics.

Thanks,
Steve

Do you mean that the teeth dont mesh?

Thats how they work, they only mesh you are starting.

I thought of something at work today,... i think there is a difference between auto and manual starters

You need an auto starter for the auto and a manual one for a manual they have a different nose length
