Start off by disconnecting the battery. After that, remove the air intake and clutch cable so you have room above the tranny. Then you should see the starter. It is held on by two screws, probably a size 14 but don't quote me on that. You also will have to disconnect the wires going to it. After you get the two long screws off and the wires it should come out no problem at all. Good luck!

ok ill try that again but its hard to find where the other screw is because its under the intake manifold so u cant really see... like last time i tryed to attemp that i took one screw out and that was when i had my car on ramps.. that bolt seemed easy compared to the other one i dont even *** where its at...

Just feel around for it. You will eventually find it. I didn't have fun doing it either but its there. Patience...

It shouldn't take too long. Its a pretty easy job. Once you get it out you will know how it goes back in and should be cake.

Its not an automaitc is it? Autos do this thing where they won't start unless you either put it in neutral or give the shifter a knock with the butt of your palm.

yea its automatic unfortunatley...... but i wish it wasnt got it for free so cant complain... ok ill try right now what u said.....

whiteb13 · 12-10-2006, 05:17 PM

Well it was worht a try. Mine did that for 80,000 miles until I spun a bearing on it last year while being stupid. Sorry guess you gotta change the starter.

whiteb13 · 12-10-2006, 07:26 PM

lol yea thanx for da try ***... another guy told me to hit it *** a hammer so i would unclogg the starter solinoid.... in gonna try that ** i try to take it out...

ok well today me and sum buddies took out my starter and took it to autozone... then after that we tryed it in this machince 6 times and it passed.. so the starter is still good, then only thing that was bad was the connection that wasnt tight enough to get a good connection. so therefore we tightend it up, and now everytime i start it it winds up pretty damn cool///
