Default 96 honda accord lx starter issues non stop

I've replaced starter 4 times this year battery is 3 months old alternator and ignition switch 3 months old I've replaced/redone every ground connection I can find replaced fuses relays it gets good ground and power at the starter and everywhere all 4 starters start off working right for 2-3 days then it's back to just clicking I can let the car roll a little bit and bump the clutch in gear while holding the key over it'll start like it should any suggestions what to do

My thoughts would be clutch safety switch/electrical ignition switch since it seems intermittent.

I have by passed the clutch safety switch when I got the car because it was giving issue and it fixed that issue I can hear the starter hit the flywheel but it will not turn the motor over put a 5th starter on it just warranty the battery and alternator checked all the grounds and fuses and relays again I have 13.9v everywhere in the car and the issue is still on going all the relays are new also the starter signal wire also gets 13.9v when the key is turned over to start it

May sound strange, but try running jumper cables from the battery terminal to the main lead on the starter for a test. I had an old truck where the positive cable looked fine,but it turned over really slowly. When I replaced the cable, it turned over normally.

Bypass the signal wire. Run 12v from the battery and see if it turns over.

I've tried both does the same thing starting to believe the starter isn't lining up properly with the flywheel guy I got the car from said he put a aftermarket clutch kit and flywheel in the car
