A standard starter predominatley has a pilot shaft extending past the
gear while a Auto starter does not (the torque converter has a larger
diam. than the flywheel)  Also to note the Auto should have more torque
to over-come hydraulic drag in the tranny--- and is usually more
expensive
 But to answer your ??? yes a auto Starter will go into a standard
tranny but a standard starter willnot go into a auto tranny.
