How much did a shop want to charge you to change out that starter?

on the starter location..

also, in regards to your starter. If you buy one, make sure you get a fair core deposit otherwise rebuild the old one.

Acura wanted north of $500 and a local shop wanted about $280. I usually do all my own work but the electrical side can be a little intimidating. When I got those prices that pushed me towards figuring it out myself.

Wow the bolts mounting the starter to the tranny were torqued to some ridiculous value. It took a 2 foot breaker bar, 1/4 can of liquid wrench and about 2 hours.

A friend and I just replaced my starter a couple weeks ago.
Wasn't that hard.
The hardest part was getting rid of the battery holder, etc. so you have enough room to work with.
