Default will not start on first try

Hey guys i have a 95 6 speed with 82,000. Car will not start, push clutch all the way to the floor turn key and nothing power is on and normal. Only after a couple of tries it will fire up and run fine. No codes...new battery,this just started a couple of days ago, can it be the starter or the security key or something with the clutch safety switch.No idea thanx for your help

check for tight connections on you starter. Sounds like the starter solenoid...be sure to disconnect negative terminal on battery first...

It could also be your starter motor starting to bite the dust....

Also could be, as you mentioned, your neutral safety switch is sticking.
