Where is the starter?

Ok we found the starter, it is towards the drivers side of the car, in front of the oil pan. We had to jack up the car to see it. We were able to get the starter motor running, so we think it is the solenoid. What is the best way to remove the solenoid?

you replace them both. the parts store sells theam as one piece...

2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
3. Remove the torque converter cover.
4. Remove the transmission cooler line clip from the transmission.




5. Disconnect the starter motor wiring.




6. Remove the starter motor mounting bolt closest to the oil pan.
7. Loosen the remaining starter bolt and remove the starter from the vehicle.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

thank you for the instructions. My dad and I got it off, turns out it just needed the terminals cleaned.
