The problem is getting worse. Is there a fix I can perform or is a new starter the only remedy??
THanks

its time for a starter, no way around it

It sounds to me like you may have a bad contact inside the motor. I am experiencing the same problem with the fan motor on my Chevrolet. The only problem is that fan motors are rarely rebuilt or rebuildable as cores. A starter motor can be taken apart to a degree. My recommendation is to do one of two things, based on your knowledge of electric motors: One is to obviously take it apart and fix it, and the second is to find a store or factory that rebuilds starter motors. These parts are as good as new, go through extensive factory testing, and are less due to many of the housings and main components only needing cleaning and minor maintenance compared to milling or forging a new part. In addition, you can save a few bucks by exchanging your old motor with a rebuild. Starter motors can be a pain in the butt either way, but it'll be worth it not to whack your starter with a wrench every morning.

Go to auto parts store and find the difference between anew starter and replacing the bendix and the brushes and solenoid.Whichever is cheaper just do it.Sometimes you can find someone to rebuild instead of buying new and it only takes a couple of minutes to do.Good luck.

Not enough information. Does the starter motor not spin, or not engage? If it does nothing, the starter relay may be at fault.

Anything from a loose connection(doubtful) wheels worn out, solenoid shot etc.., need to get a new starter.

it is the solenoid of the starter that is bad.
it has dirty inside and that dirt don't let the moving parts(internal) do what is supposed to do.
I know You are not a mechanic so, I will not tell You to open it , clean it and re install it.

I could spend a lot of time expaining the brushes, armature, stator, solenoid, and all that stuff, but it won't help.
Go buy a new starter.

the bendix is stuck in the starter, replace the starter or have it rebuilt

starters are not that expensive or difficult to replace, just buy a new one.
