It happens in every car and it's a normal occurrence...

 

well its too late for that now. :/ They're changing the clutch. The AAA guy said the same thing as the dealer, somehow. They both said it sounded like the flywheel was spinning but not catching anything. So whether they're wrong or not. I guess I'm getting a new clutch. I'll keep you guys posted and we'll see what happens. The battery in the car is only one year old.

 

May as well have them install a lightweight flywheel then.

 

if the flywheel was spinning the motor would start - this is why we can't see how the clutch has anything to do with your issue .
Sounds to me like the ring gear on the flywheel is stripped and the starter is freewheeling . That is the only explanation (based on what you have told us) that makes any sense .
If this is the case the clutch may be fine and you should just buy a new lightweight flywheel as suggested above ...

 

It is that the starter is freewheeling. Sorry I'm having a really tough time explaining this, it's kind of confusing to me haha. But I'm pretty sure its an OEM flywheel they installed. I pick up my car tomorrow.
