Yes that will be your best bet is to look at the gears and see what is up , when the starter clutch goes bad , it can either not allow the starter to disengage , or not allow the starter to engage , or work intermittently as yours seems to be doing , but that would be my first guess would be the one way bearing in the gear is bad or going bad
