Default do i need a new starter?

okay guy, i figured it out... i replaced my clutch.. and it wont start.. and my battery is dead yes... but i also had someone start my car with me under the hood. wht it sounds like is the starter either is not reaching the flywheel or missin it and when it spins it does not do anything... cuz when i go to start it, the first time it starts to click n stops... and just makes a sound like as if the starter were freely spinning in there.. i am pretty sure this is the problem..... cuz thats what it sounds like.. i will make sure none of the teeth in the flywheel are fudged up from this... but are there any simple solutions to fix it or adjust it/ and also just to check it out? or does this mean i need a new starter? i had to watch my car get towed to my shop yesterday, i felt bad for it on that towtruck... i need to get it back on the orad again. thanks for all yer help!

are your lights comming on, on the dash. It does sound like a starter to me, but its hard to tell just from reading.
