I think my starter may have gone out, checked all my fuses, the battery connection is good. The thing had started i put it in my drive way to check something, went to start....and no luck, no clicking sounds, just a little noise from around the kickpanel fuse box, but not battery dead/bad connection clicking sounds. The last thing I did was mess with my side mount intercooler....

Any starter shop can rebuild these is that correct? Or is there any replacement? i saw on the replacement thread that there is not usdm replacement.

I had my starter rebuit for $100. They rebuilt the whole thing. It didn't want to come out all the way. So I had them check it and next thing you know it was a total rebiuild.

just find a shop that rebuilds starters and get it done. I had mine done for $85 locally.
