are you talking about the gear reduced as opposed to the direct drive?
I installed this gear reduced starter on my 91 LE...
Sounds like this...
Is that what you were talking about?

The one I used was for a 94-95 Park Ave Ultra or Bonneville SSEi.... But I believe it crosses to the newer years as well.. Might have to do a little parts research on it..
The only issue I had was with the Positive Wire from the battery... Its at a slightly different angle on the Gear reduced starter.. I did a little tab bending, and careful placement to make sure the Ignition feed to the solenoid and the 12V Battery cable would not touch... While I was there I also wrapped the cable in new wire loom..
The starter was actually a direct bolt on for my car...
