starter spins but wont crank
 

so since my ignition switxh is fucked up. i wired a wire to go from the starter motor to my positive terminal but for some reason when i make contact the starter just spins and it wont crank the engine. if you can help asap it would be great cause im tired of push starting this car

Tap the starter case with a hammer then try it. If it works, you can keep doing it for a while, but you will gave to buy a new or used starter.

If you've been doing burnouts or are bad at driving stick shift you could have overheated the flywheel and broken the ring gear loose. You can pop the plug on the bottom of the trans and look in with a flashlight to see if the ring gear is broken off or not. You can also tell by pulling the starter.

the cog on the starter motor should fly out & extend to meet the flywheel when cranking.
sounds like its not extending..take it out of the car and run it off a battery to check.

If you need a fd starter. I have one

thanks. i've been drifting a bunch and doin some clutch dumps so i dont think that helps i guess i'll pukl the starter off soon but its cold as balls

i need one for an fc thanks though
