I own a 95 SC300 5spd and i'm having trouble starting my car these days.
Like all manuals, I step on the clutch to start. All you hear is a click sound.
To me it doesn't seem like a battery (recently changed) or starter problem.
The car starts after several attempts.
Sometimes it feels like I need to step the clutch at an angle to get it working.

don't know what's wrong with the car.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

might wanna recheck that starter....or at least check the bolt on the starter that connects the positive battery terminal to it, that bolt has a tendency to become like 1/8th turn loose and causes problems starting where you have to turn the key 4-5-6 times to get it to go

I think you're right. When I was replacing my battery, the new battery's terminals were opposite so I had to criss cross the positive and negative possibily causing the problem.

thanks. i'll definitely check it.
