AT>MT SWAP : Starter Doesnt Touch Flywheel!

[Rabbi]

i just installed a brand new flywheel on my motor. Its a 1.8 4g37 i am converting from automatic to manual.

I Bolted up the flywheel and the starter is about an inch away from contacting the teeth on the flywheel. Were the 1.8 starters diffrent for the manual & automatic cars?

Thanks

Yup.

 

[Rabbi]

are you postive?
because i just checked autozone.com and the part numbers for both the automatic & manual starters are the same part number.

I just dont want to plop 50 bucks down for a starter that is the same !

 

[Rabbi]

bump
a guy from mitsubishigraveyard told me the starters for the two cars are diffrent
but why would autozone have the same exact part numbers for each car?

doesnt make sence!

Well, it is AutoZone.

Gary would know better than they would.

Never bump a thread again.
