one thing before you bump it give the metal part of the solenoid on the starter a few cracks with a hammer then try the key agian sometimes the motor spins but the dog doesnt fly forward and engage
if not go for it just remember the heaters and dont stall it

the starter is pretty easy to change on them but check it before you change it it could be the starter ring on the flywheel
