A friend told me that a GST starter wouldnt fit on a GSX, but im not sure I just want to make sure before I go out and buy something I dont need. Will it fit? Keep finding yes no answers..

I can 100% verify that all 2g GST and GSX manual starters have the same part number therefore being interchangeable. I personally (not told by a friend) had to swap a starter from my 98 GSX using one form my 99 GST. The arm was not retracting. Both starters had the same part number MD172860. The auto starters are different. I will agree that the flywheel is different, but it still works out to be compatable with the starter from either FWD or AWD. FWD turbo flywheels have 110 teeth on the ring gear (and thus, a larger diameter) compared to AWD flywheels that have 106 teeth.

Starter part numbers:

5spd 90-93.5 md172860
5spd 93.5-94 md172861
auto 90-94 md172860
5spd 95-99 md172860
auto 95-99 md172861

Same. If you ever want to know...just simply compare part numbers on an auto parts website
