Can someone tell if the starter is the same for an Auto and a Manual 2006 2.5ltr petrol?

 

Automatics and Manuals use the same starter motor. Here's the part #'s:

 

Cheers buddy, thanks for the that.

 

Is your car a manual by any chance and sounds like it's grinding? If so, there's an excellent possibility that clutch goo is binding the drive gear. I was ready to replace my starter; found info in these forums and removed my starter and cleaned it; been working like new ever since! It's even a relatively simple job. Cheers!

 

Mine is an auto but thanks anyway for replying. Cheers

 

I have a few starters if you need one. pm me and we can go from there.


Good luck,
The Dr!

 

Thank you for that! Only had mine a few months now but a couple times a couple weeks ago it did the grinding and not catching stuff, I thought maybe damaged teeth or something, but hopefully it's just this, mines a 5spd. What is this clutch goo?

 

That's my super- technical name for the dust and residue that comes off your clutch as it wears, and it all seems to accumulate on the shaft for the drive gear. It will make perfect sense when you get the starter out. I could barely pry the gear up and down on mine; just used a bit of brake cleaner and judicious use of compressed air, good as new. I gather it's pretty common. Good luck!
