How hard is it to install a starter on the S14 95-98's? Pictures and instructions will help deeply. I installed one on my integra when i had it back then and it took me only 20 minutes. I need to know what i'm working with. Thanks again

fsm says there are four bols holding it on. on my MT S13 there was plenty of room to work with. it would be helpful to have some wobble sockets or universal joints.

If your car is stick its ALOT easier but if its an auto you have to drop the transmission to get access to it

yea make sure you are careful when loosening the bolts cuz I almost dropped the starter on my face.... not good. It ended up landing on top of my chest but it still hurt like hell...

Id give it a 3 its really not THAT difficult

Thanks a lot guys, i figure since the starter is located behing, i thought it would be a ***** to reach. My car is a manual so i hope its an easy task as you guys say.

get under the car.

oh yeah, if you have a lift, i bet it will be a lot easier.

but seriously, don't drop it on your face. sounds funny, but it's serious. the starter is pretty heavy.
