The past two days when I have went to start my car it would slowly turn over a few times and then finally crank. The battery indicator on the dash still read normal. Today when i went to crank it up it didn't make a noise at all, no lights came on when i was in the accessory position before trying to crank and it didn't make any noise at all when i turned to crank. Is this because my starter has went bad or does the battery need to be replaced? The starter is original the battery is around 2 1/2 yrs old

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good.
