u are very right, i didnt make myself clear, that was my bad. if it does start, the starter IS good, but the other solenoid that is attached to the side of the starter itself it what actually goes bad, but all of them im ever seen are riveted or welded to the side of the starter, meaning u must replace the WHOLE starter, i did not put up my last post to confuse, i just jumped ahead of myself a bit, once again my bad and hope this clarifies my previous point
