Petersubaru Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Could some tell me the difference if any, between a starter for an automatic vs manual...in front of me I have the starter for the automatic, but I am unable to get a good close look at the starter in my 86 loyale that fits on to a manual transmission to make any real comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I believe the starter differences are for 2wd and 4wd, with the 2wd having a longer housing. I noticed this when I did my conversion.. my 2wd auto had a long bodied starter, and it wouldn't clear the vacuum module on my 4wd tranny.. thankfully my parts car had a wrecking yard starter in it with the shorter body.. fit right in. BTW.. The starter I am using in my 5 spd car came from a 3AT car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Autos have a gear reduction starter, manuals don't. They will interchange though (with the exception of those with the vacuum module thinger) as I've had both in many of my subes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
