Okay I've looked through my "electrical" factory service manual, I tried to Search for an awnser here on tuners but I wound up more confused after every passing minute LOL

So my question is will a AWD Turbo AUTO starter work with a fwd Turbo AUTO transmission

If not will the brushes swap over from the awd starter to the fwd starter

I kept getting mixed awnsers and I'm tired of hitting my starter
Gonna check my connections before I do anything

We'll I checked the ground wire (it's grounded), the constant power wire is 12.5v roughly,
I swapped in a spare starter relay I had kickin around, I checked the inhibitor switch ,
I'm very certain I hear the magnetic switch and when I hit the back of the starter my car will start

Now that I know forsure it's my starter acting up (the brushes) I can replace it.
I found a awd automatic starter for a good price,
I just need to know if my car will accept the awd starter

UPDATE:

So I swapped in the AWD automatic turbo starter I bought to my FWD turbo automatic transmission and no issues what's so ever with starting now.

The numbers were a bit different but I'll add them when I get a chance

Now what do you guys think of my old starter?
Are the brushes worn out enough to cause the issues I was having?
Or was it caused by the pitting seen in the last picture?

Kinda want to rebuild it
