My 1998 Legacy has a problem starting. I was getting a lot of clicking when I turned the ignition but it would usually start after I moved the shifter around. The other day after a few clicks the started engaged and didn't stop. I pull off the battery lead but I think the started fired. If I replace the starter will it just fired again??
