umm let see because im not a total moron...... buddy!!!! but any ways my lights are nice and bright so my battery has plenty of power i can push start it i can hear a clicking when i try to turn it over so it most likely is the starter silinoid because the starter isn't even trying to start.

Well if you can hear your clutch relay click when you turn the key and you push in your clutch and it doesn't start that it's definitely your starter. No you can't transfer solenoids. Just go to autozone or kragen and pick up a starter for $80. It takes 10-15 minutes to replace, it's not hard at all.

Don't feel bad, i'm swapping a cracked head off of mine, bleh.

Hey Anthony what you need is a voltmeter to check this problem. Get oneand disconnect the solenied trigger wire (small one not the big fat batterywire) hook the voltmeter red to the starter soleniod triggerwire and the black to ground have a friend crank your car to see if the solenoid is getting 12volts if it is more than likely the starter is bad. If i remember right some nissans use starter relays i have seen voltage drop inthe relays cause the same symptom and voltage drop in the battery cable to starter. Good luck

changed it once and much easier when the car is on the lift.... the damn starter is in such a tight area you'll need an extension+ball joint, if i could remember clearly theres like 3 or 4 bolts
