Hi EJ, When my starter went 2 years ago, I just took it to a local starter/alternator/electrical shop; he guy took one look at it and said "is this from a renault or a volvo? And a 5 speed right?" Wow, he had it right on the money, well mine was shot because of clutch dust & dust build up in it; a common problem he said, and even worse for us since the start sits backwards , lots of wind to help blow the dust in. Anyway they were able to rebuilt the starter in a day, cost my $100 Canadian (so like $70 US) including a new solenoid and drive gear. No muss, no fuss, and I have my "original" parts still in it. Autozone and the like are grocery stores for auto parts, never hurts to go the the specialty markets for quality. Mike Vin 17106
