so i fixed the issue yesterday... feel free to laugh and make fun...

the idiots had cranked the key so far forward that it didnt return to the run position correctly... so after having my mitsuba starter tested(good) and bled the clutch slave cylinder... i was about to get really angry and sell my car...lol...

just found by luck that the key just needed to be turned back towards me just a hair..

no issues since... EPIC FAIL..

 

Glad your problem was easily resolved.

My starter has been working fine ever since the cleaning. So from my own personal experience my advice to anyone with a bad starter (if it is the original one) is fix what ya got instead of replacing it
