hey people. i'm about to convert my car and was wondering if its true that i have to change my starter motor? I know the flywheel is different but i thought the ring gear would be the same.
99% sure you do have to change to the manual starter.
thanx Bextor
Nay. The starter is the same.

shit, is it the same or not?
the biggest problem with this site is conflicting advice
My prior knowledge, VL workshop manual, and Repco catalouge serve me to say that the starters are the same. Not to take anything away from you Bex, not often you miss.
EDIT: thinking about it more, there could be some other componant relating to the start in gear prevention that you'd need to remove, whatever it is it's not part of the starter motor.

Nah your right mate, I'm probably just confusing myself thinking of mx7/mf5 stuff.
if you are converting from auto to manual,starter motors are the same.End of arguement!Done this conversion last year.When it wont start,send me a message.
