Question Yet another starter question

I did a search of the threads and didn't find an answer for this.

Car cranks and starts "normally" for the most part, but on occasion, it seems that the solenoid is "kicking" the bendix drive away from the ring gear before the car starts, making one awful noise. I wait a few seconds, and it starts "normally."

This has increased in frequency over the past month, occuring twice in the past week. Bad mounting? Bad solenoid? Loose connections? I don't think the ignition switch is bad, but at this juncture don't want to rule anything out.

Ideas, please? I appreciate your input
