Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) starters

[Mopar_Tim]

any difference between the manual trans and the auto trans starters ? on my project truck i need to buy a starter and i have got a 2000 bell housing and engine adapter for my nv4500 ... ... i want to buy a factory one and rebuild it myself but all i keep finding is auto truck ones ... ... will they work

Starter should be a starter. Go to one of the parts house sites, or call, and see if there's a difference - I doubt it.

starter

starter should be the same with auto or standard trans.

The starters the same I believe and I think there maybe a spacer used for one and not on the other.

The nv4500 uses the same starter as the auto and no spacer is used with the 5spd.

Also, no spacer is ever used for 2003-up unless you have a standard output 2003-4 and go to the 6 speed flywheel. All 6 speed block plates 2003-up are thicker at the starter pad instead of using a spacer on the regular thin pad that automatics and 5 speeds use.
