95 GT starting issues

[Passenger]

Having some problems with my '95. For the past month, you'd turn the key over to start, and it would very slowly just drag the motor (As in not fast enough to start), or just click. If the car clicked, I could push the clutch in and out a few times while holding the key over, and it'd start. As of yesterday, it just clicks, no matter how many times I try with the clutch. Battery is not the problem, as mine is less than a year old, and I tested with my brother's Optima. That leaves it narrowed down to the starter, starter solenoid correct?

it could be the neutral safety switch went out. do you still have that on your car?

Believe so.

it sounds like the the brushes inside the starter. just replace to starter and check the power cable that goes from the fuse box under hood to the starter. my car did this the starter went bad and it over heated the cable and melted the cable.

you can take the sensor off the clutch pedal twist the wires together. try that

What causes a starter to make a scraping noise when being used.
