2g 6bolt Swap Manual Starter

[000]

Hey guys I'm new here because I just got a 95 eclipse gsx. It has a 6bolt swap with an evo 16g, fmic, 3'' turbo back, hks bov, safc, aftermarket injectors (not sure what size yet), aftermarket air filter, aftermarket fuel pump (not sure what kind yet), eibach springs, act 2600 clutch and some other mods.

I searched this forum and I'm finding similar posts but I'm still having problems.

It was starting fine but making a grinding noise. Then it eventually wouldn't start. The previous owner said he replaced the starter 2 months ago.

I'm assuming the grinding is from the starter gear skipping teeth on the flywheel before it catches.

Then I went and installed another starter this weekend that I bought from NAPA and it would start the engine with the grinding noise a handful of times but now it doesn't start unless I pop start it.

The part number I bought was 44-6402 from NAPA. I have another starter coming to my local NAPA today with part number 2446403.

Is this the right starter for an AWD manual transmission 6 bolt on a 2g eclipse gsx?

Also the part says automatic transaxle on some sections of the napa website and it says manual transaxle on others. Why would they have the same part number? Are they interchangeable? I hope they are not giving me the automatic one today.

Any ideas? Thanks.

That picture doesn't show anything, why you didn't take a picture with the wrong plate sittings on the trans t see the alignment,

I'm outside of town and will coke back on saturday, I have a 2g AWD trans and a few FED plates, I will take a pic and post it here for clarification, at this time, I don't care who is right, all what I care now is to have the right information for all others out therd..

For now, I will not post or argue anything till I post the pic.

Have all of you guys a wonderful thanksgiving.

As I promised, here is a pic of the FWD plate on the AWD trany.
You are right, only one bolt will clear and the other one will be almost impossible to pass through.


OP

Discard the plate, unless some one tried to modify one hole to make it work, then that's the only way you could off have the wrong plate, but besides that, is impossible to have the wrong one.
