I just went out to move my car and the starter sounded like it was turning but the car would not start. I turned the key off and the starter was still turning over. As soon I released the clutch it stopped. I can push in the clutch with the key off and the starter turns over. I had to disconect the battery because the solenoid started smoking.

Any ideas?


Fixed it!!! That starter sure is a PITA To remove.
