Well my starter went out and I need to transport my car tomorrow to a different parking lot that is quite some distance away. I wanted to take it in today to autozone and get it tested and verify it is the problem before I get a hitachi unit and try to rebuild it. Thanks to all. Does anyone know if the S13SR20 and the S14SR20 use the same starter?

This really should be common sense. Its a 5speed. When you push start a car thats manual your bypassing the starter. so i wouldnt see the difference of it in or not. Not flaming.. just saying.
