The engine side of the solenoid should connect directly to the starter motor so I am not sure how you would be bypassing it. I am confused by the question but maybe I can learn something. If you bypass the starter to start the engine what will turn the engine over to start it?
About the initial question: To determine the problem I would want to hear the "clunking sound" and determine if it is from the starter itself or the solenoid.
