Guys, need a new starter for an AUTO LT1. I once installed a CSI model 100 or 101 on a MAN. LT1(worked great!), but do not know if it will work for my application. Im looking for an aftermarket starter only. Not wasting my time and $$ with that other parts store junk!

Is there any other brands CSI? Part #'s to help me get something better than a PepBoys starter?? Thanx!

 

I run an LT4 starter no complaints

 

CVR ProTorque... .$150 from JEG's...... rotates in 8 positions to clear headers, etc. (Last time I looked in the catalog, they only listed the "race" version of this starter, which is $250, but I'm pretty sure the $150 version - which my 381 just loves - is still available.

 

Which one is for our car? I see some starters for 153-tooth flywheel. Is this the one we want? 153-tooth?!
Thx-Goose

 

I know you said you didnt want to mess with junk starters from auto parts stores, but I just got one from advanced auto parts, and it works and sounds great. I had a friend whose starter went out and he went there and paid $122 for this starter. I thought it would be crap so I waited until I heard it and it sounds great. It didn't struggle to start his car and it comes with a lifetime warranty, so I decided to give it a try. My stock starter only lasted 3 weeks with my hotcam kit and higher compression, but this one has been doing fine. Starts with just a quick turn of the key. I also have an automatic and headers and, with a little effort, I got it up in there and bolted up. Hope this helps.

 

I second this mans suggestion. I have had it for about two years and no issues so far.

I can't remember what tooth it is though.

 

I have a CVR ProTorque I will sell for $130 plus shipping if your interested. I just got it a few weeks ago and it will not go in with my headers.

 

Ok, but does this CVS thing work for an auto??? All you guys got 6spds!!!

 

Well so you guys know, I want to get the right quailty starter becuase I went to this small parts place and the guys give me some starter-try it out and its COMPLETLY wrong. So, I return it asking for the CORRECT one and the guy goes underneath the counter, and gives me one with out a box So, I install this POS, and whenever I start the car, there is a squeak from I guess my buddy said the pinion. Sometimes you can here the starter squeak when the car is driving-like it is spinning. It also barely starts the car. $180 worth of embarassment.

 

It may need to be shimmed...

 

TTT

 

Worked fine in my M6, and just as well when I swapped in the TH400.

CVR with TH400

 

Cool, but does that trans use the same flexplate as my 4L60??
