I put a T-56 in my 89 IROC last year and I just used a grinder to make the automatic starter work, but now I need a new starter. So, can I use a stock 5 speed starter for an 89 camaro to make it work?

i hope so.. a new 4th gen starter is 239.99 at autozone!!!!!

 

I heard that you can, but im not positive.

 

I used many different mini starters from those cheap Tommy Johnson Jr. mitsumi starters (Lasted a whopping 20 starts..) to a delco mini, but Jegs CVR is cheap and slips easily around headers and had like 12 mounting positions. I love it!!! Check it out here

good luck!

 

When I swapped trnsmissions I used myfactory 5-speed starter.

 

pickup a used 96'+ LT1 starter (bolts are shorter). a buddy of mine worked at the junk yard and gave it to me for $65 bucks . hell that's the core charge alone right there. i've been using it for about 6 months no probs.

 

How long has that starter lasted, and how many teeth is it designed for?

 

I switched transmissions over a year ago. It is the stock starter that came with my car, so I don't know how many teeth.
