Default 95 Starter removal

Getting ready to replace my starter and at first look seems like there is a few roadblocks. Any direction or tricks would be awesome. Seems to be a path going forward?

On my 92 auto vert the only tricky thing was squeezing it by the trans lines. Otherwise pretty straight forward. Kevin

I replaced the starter in my 95 coupe a few years ago. It is a straightforward process but pay attention to any shims that may be installed and where they are placed. I recall there being one or two shims when I did mine. Other than that the new unit solved my dead spot when starting!

Good Luck.

I would take your starter to get rebuilt.

Reman ones may need to be shimmed and cause a headache

I removed the starter last year to do the oil pan gasket. Very straight forward. As jpipx said, look for any shims and make sure they are put back in.

Curious, what is wrong with the starter?
Mine would start sometimes and others do nothing. But it was just the contacts in the solenoid. $15 kit and a half yours work and it was as good as new.

As others have said, Lt1 starters are pretty easy to change.

Here's a old a new contact side by side.
