Starting problems
I went to go start my car this morning and it wouldn't start. It started to turn over then it starting making a whinning sound. I tried it a few more times and all it did was whine. I ended up poping the clutch to get it started and then let it run for about 20 minutes. I then re started it and it turned over for a second then the whinning noise again. I tried again and it started. I had to try quick starts to get it to catch it seems like. I had the starter done around a year ago. What do you think it is? I am hoping not the flywheel because who knows how much that cost. I had the tranny rebuilt around 7 months ago and I would think the resurfaced it but I don't know. Does anyone know what my problem is?

The best thing to do is have it diagnosed at a Nissan Dealer. That way you'll know exactly what the problem is, and can figure out if you can do the work youself and same some $. Going on guessing and replacing parts which might not need replacement can get expensive and still not solve the problem.

If that includes installation, that is about right. If not, then they are charging you what the dealer would for the part. You can get a lifetime warranty rebuilt from Autozone or others for about $150 more or less. Aftermarket new ones cost about the same.

Sounds good. It is not unusual for an older car to require a new starter.
Edit: If I were you, I'd consider adding a ground cable from the starter case (ie. bolt that holds in starter) to ground (either neg. battery terminal, body or engine ground). It could save you a lot of headache and future starting issues.
