Trouble Starting

I have a 97 Chevy Z71 1/2 ton extended cab 4x4 approximately 162K on it. Anyway, about a year ago I noticed that I was leaking transmission fluid. What happened was that my pan got a little loose and slowly leaked out fluid. Anyway, fixed that problem. However around the same time I started to have trouble starting the truck. I would turn the key and it would sort of grind a little bit. Then I would let go and turn again and it would start. However, it could be totally unrelated.

Then came winter and I had no problems at all starting the truck.

Summer came again and I have had the same problem. Sometimes it starts up sometime, it takes a few turn. What it sounds like is there is something spinning around. After a couple of tries it ends up starting. I have no idea what this is. It has never not started, but I don't want to get caught where it actually finally falters.

Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Rob
