Help!Car not starting

Okay I have a 2001 v6 2wd f-150 manual (105k miles). I went to start the car I hear this rattle followed by this fast rate spinning noise. When I go to start the car again the engine doesn't turnover I just hear this spinning noise; everything else is silent. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Shows you have a 5 speed so put it in neutral and push for a while, dump the clutch and go from there because the solenoid on your starter is kaput.

You seem to not realize how 'snobby' the forum is. You must search for your answers first... haha, jk. Sounds like a bum starter to me.

Ah....I see the problem. You are trying to start a car while sitting in a truck.
