I've run into this a few times, over the years. If the battery is too weak, it won't pull the gear back out of the flywheel when the engine starts. So, have the battery checked and the connections. The other thing that comes to mind, if the flywheel/flexplate is damaged, the drive gear on the starter could be getting hung up, and staying engaged. Hope this helps.

I don't get what the drive belt had to do with any of this.
