Ok, I'm doing my chick friend's starter and I've never replaced one on a 6gen. 4gen yes, but I have no idea where to find it. The Chilton's manual has a wonderful picture of where the 5gen one is, but I'm working on an ST (7a-fe). Can someone please take a picture or just tell me where on this engine the starter is located. Out of resources.

It's on the back of the engine, below the intake manifold.

where batman said. its pretty small. but look under the intake manifold and you'll see it. if not follow around where the engine && tranny meet up and you'll def find it.
its not too easy to get the two bolts out lol. i had to get a pretty good breaker bar for mine. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

Its pretty much in smack dead center of the motor on the drivers side. 2 bolts hold it in, 1 is easier to access from the bottom, the other you can come from the top.

I appreciate the responses guys. We got it out and whatnot, I've just never seen a starter that's completely closed in from all sides like that. They're usually on the front of the bell housing where you can get to it easily (at least on the 3S-GE it is).

The same place as the 5S and later 3S's but turned 180 degrees so underneath the header and above the block. Not fun. 1st time I did it I ended up taking way to much stuff off like the header etc. The 2nd time I figured out you could just take off the oil filter and hit it from there with a long exstention. You could borrow one of my jacks if you need to.

We could knock that out in one day easy. Let me know - it's kinda messy in there right now as I have not cleaned since I started working on the new car. Just swept a few times and took out the trash but there are parts everywhere. Let me know and I'll clean it up before you guys come by

Yeah, shouldn't take too long. Especially if you have air tools. I need some of those too....
