Can a starter from an automatic transmission work on a manual transmission? Don't remember if it will, searched online and unable to find any legit information. My starter recently had some issues..had it completely rebuilt around 10 years ago. It was the original Motorcraft starter. Found a guy local , he charges 125.00 for a full rebuild. I put in a used oem spare I had.
Found a local yard with a good clean oem used one from a 97 3.0 Aerostar for 35.00.
I'm questioning the rebuild of the parts and where they come from and the rate of cheap China crap failure in parts.
Ford and oriellys are well over 200.00 , I can get a ford reman from rock auto for 90.00.
For those who know I truly only use oem parts on my ranger and other ford's I've owned.
Any help is appreciated about an auto vs manual transmission starter info. It will work I will go ahead and buy it.
Thanks
