Icon2 92 Accord DX - Intermittently won't crank on startup

I have had a VERY similar problem as OLDER POST titled "94 accord 5-speed problems starting" with my 92 Accord DX 5 speed manual tx.

Recently had master and slave clutch cylinders replaced. Approx. 3 weeks later parked car briefly and when depressing clutch, the car would not turn over. All lights on Dash light up and I hear the relay clicking under dash at left.

Once, I depressed the clutch harder and the car started. But increasingly the car will not turn over and pushing the clutch harder does not work.

I have read posts and was about to order the clutch interrupter switch, I have the diagram. I had a mechanic friend check and he says the int. switch has continuity, and is physically working. ( I know it is the upper switch, and I know about replacing the grommet/button)

Here's the deal, every time for the last week, when the car won't start I turn off ignition, put car in reverse and roll the car backwards and then pop the clutch. Then I put car in neutral and the car STARTS.

Is this the STARTER ???? Or something simpler like... poor battery terminal connections... which I will Try next.

HELP PLEASE !!!
