GuyTelefunken Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Must be starter month. So many topics about them lately... The GS3xx starter is cake compared to the GS4xx. A very long extension "24-36" and a (16mm?) socket with a built-in swivel and it comes out and goes in like any other. The trick is to access the top bolt with the extension from the drivers side of the transmission. I used the longest extensions I had so that I could approach the bolt head from almost the extreme tail end of the transmission. The longer the extension, the straighter you can aim for the bolt head. You may find it helpful to remove the bolt securing the upper end of the transmission dipstick bracket before you begin. The dipstick tube can then be moved out of your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
