5th gen starter on 4th gen?
My 98 is making the screeching sound on startup that I believe is the starter. I know I could probably do the re-grease procedure described herer http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/516 but I found a good deal on a 5th gen 2000 starter. Will it work?
I seem to remember a thread about this a while ago and something about teeth count, but I don't remember if would work or not.
thanks guys/gals

the 5th gen internals are put into the 4th gen starter case, the teeth are a lot differnt and it makes more torque for easier starts. I got mine swapped at by Jeff at Maximum Tuning, and i couldnt be happier!
btw just taking a 5th gen starter and trying to bolt it up will not work, im not sure about the 2000-2001 since they have the same block but i know the 3.5 starter wont work

exactly, you dont do the swap yourself, you buy it like that
