[T3] sticking starter


<x-flowed> It's been below freezing in Portland recently, and I think Phillip's starter is sticking. Is there something to lubricate or do I need a relay? Twice now when starting first thing in the morning, the starter has "whirred" but not turned the engine over. One of the times was after the car was running but barely warmed up enough to pull out of the driveway.
I have 12V system now, starting through the ignition w/o a relay. I know this is a recommended mod for voltage drop to the starter. Is the "whirring" sarter a voltage drop problem?
