  1. Boy you're gonna LOVE this little undertaking. The starter is toward the transmission (back) end of the engine on the right(firewall) side. I highly recommend purchasing a repair manual that explains the step-by-step if you do not have any mechanical background. This is not a fun or easy job especially for a novice. It can be achieved with common sense and patience and a few band-aids for the hands.

  2. ya like the guy above me said its gonna be fun. really this is not a job for the dyi guy a shop will charge you about 4hours labor to replace it and trust me its mony well spent. I think I would rather shoot my self in the foot.

    now for were its at.... its under / just behind the battery tray bolted to the top of the transmission. also ther is a rather large wireing harness that will be in your way.

    good luck to ya.
