I just put in a five speed and I might have put the start back in carelessly... meaning I did not ensure the cable was safe and clear from anything dangerous such as the headers. I melted a couple of spots on the cable.. but did not know it until I pulled the starter out. I don't know if I harmed the starter or not. So I was planning on taking it to the local auto parts store to let them test it. I called ahead to make sure they do this.... and also to see if they had a new starter in case mine was shot. The guy told me he had a starter for both the automatic and the manual ($6 price difference).
That's where I got confused. Is there a difference? Is it the flywheel tooth count vs the flex plate tooth count?? My common sense tells me to get the starter for the auto trans car because it worked just fine before.
Could someone shed some light on this? I am still hoping though that my starter is okay... and I just managed to ground out the system with my wire melting.
