Well I had the battery checked it was good the guy at advance auto said it didnt even need a charge so ther's a fuse box next to the battery the diagrham showes a big 30 amp fuse and and what I think is a starter relay no visiable damange I just dont understand the clunk sound is the starter drive going into the flywheel but it wont spin the flywheel

No, that's electrical cuz the big heavy wire spins the starter. and a tiny wire makes it click. you discovered and unwanted high resistance. one of the 4 common electrical problems (post #3).

great job doing some diagnosis and reporting back your findings...that'll help someone else...hopefully
