hi.
would you like to buy a 'parts' starter ?
could give you a fair deal on one of those, I have about 6 extra 1.9 wbxr
manual transmission starters,
and an auto trans one too.
don't expect the starter to turn very freely without a front support bushing
( which is in the bell housing ) ..
unless you are talking about an auto trans starter which has it's own front
support bushing built in.
you need the right screw there at that lever pivot point, not just 'some
screw' of course.
or just buy a rebuilt starter.
