starter replacement

I have a starter needing replacement on my TA and wondering if there are upgrades available that someone knows about, or just original is sufficient?? Are these difficult do-it-urself projects?? looks like just a few bolts, but any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks again!

Re: starter replacement

stock is fine unless youre engine is crazy high performance or super high compression


waste of money otherwise

stock starters work plenty fine


good luck

Re: starter replacement

If you have headers or are planning on getting them then put some heat wrap on the starter and soleniod.
