I'm not entirely sure what the problem is, Im thinking it may have to do with the clutch switch. (not sure the exact name)
Problem:
Push clutch in, and go to turn key. And most of the time all I get is a click, ocassionally it will even turn over (not a full turn tho while still not starting)

It happens mostly, i think when its cold, but does not happen all the time. My battery has more then enough volts. Its around 13.3 at a stand still, and 14.7 while running. I think I mentioned everything, if not, I will add in more information. Thanks

check for loose ground wires.

Never thought of that option, is there an ideal location I would check for this issue im having?

where the neg. off the battery goes to the tranny

you're sure your battery is fine? what's the CCA right now? I say get the battery tested if a loose ground doesn't fix it.

does it only happen when it's cold, or does it happen at other times too?

Possibly Loose ground on the Tranny, same thing happned to me when i did a motor swap and went to start. Broke the ground off the tranny.

try your batter ground/grounds...if not your alternator is not pushing enough volts out....even at 11amps your not gonna get it to jump...since its cold...im sure its your alternator...change it...you need atleast 14amps to start it up..try it..im pretty sure its that

Sounds like somethings not grounded correctly. Check the tranny ground, battery, relays, etc..

Im going to check the grounds. Im out ruling the alternator tho. All I have to do when it does this, is keep turning the key on and off until it starts. Although I do appreciate your advice. It will start after I keep trying(I should have mentioned that sooner i guess. Sorry) so that would mean the battery is fine as the alternator. Right?

Make sure both battery connectors and terminals are clean and making good electrical contact. Corrosion might be restricting current flow from the battery.
