Battery is fine, but when I try to start it, all I get is a solenoid click. Like maybe it's jammed? Car won't turn over. Push started the car just fine, drove around, parked it and tried to start it, but no dice. Just a click.

This is apparently a Renegage "factory" conversion, done in the mid 90s. What kind of starter is this? Some random dude once told me it is from a Mitsubishi diesel. Correct?

Also, it looks like a separate solenoid on it? Is it replaceable? Can I take it off while the starter is on the car? How do I diagnose the problem?

The starter itself seemed to be working strong, no problem, before today.
