t5 v6 ecotec starter motor

[ashzv6]

Hi.

I was just wondering if there is a difference between buick manual starter motors and t5 ecotec manual starter motors?

And is there a spacer or shim needed when fitting it to the engine block?

thanks

They are both the same, so long as they are a starter to suit T5

Yes as said they're the same. Also your right about the shim/spacer.
