Starter disengaging flywheel too soon

Maintenance/Repairs

Got a 2000 Honda Accord, 4CLY, Automatic. 120K miles.

The starter turns over the engine and briefly engages the flywheel. The flywheel disengages shortly before the car can be started while the starter continues to run. Occasionally, the flywheel may quickly reengage and disengage

Is this a problem w/ the starter?

Here’s a youtube video

The key was in the crank position for the entire video. Yet, you only hear the crank sound between 0:02 to 0:04. It disengaged at 0:03 and tried to re-engage from 0:03 - 0:04

Is the starter bad?

thx
