is there a relay from cluth to starter

What is your question?

My corolla will not turn over unless the cluth is depressed. sometimes it starts wiyh first try while at other times it takes twenty. I get the click from the cellinoid when it doesn't turn over. I got underneath once and just tried to make sure everything was secure and tight and that seemed to work for a while. So, is it the starter or is there a relay switch from the clutch to the starter that need to be replaced. The starter is almost impossible to get at.
