Starter prob...?

Ok sometimes when I try to start the car. It seems like the starter is slipping?? When I bought it the guy gave me an extra starter cuz' the one in the car was doing it really bad. 10k later it still does it once in a while. Just wanted to see if this "starter prob" has happened to anybody else. Or is something else? I thought it was the battery but I just installed a new one.

Pretty easy to replace the starter: undo the neg terminal, go underneath.

alot of threads on bad starters....try running new wires for the starter and the ground....

somthing about the copper wire stops running as much current compared to new and causes a slow start..or somthing.... try searching on somthing about new battery or starter wiring
