i have a d15b7 in my eg with a y5 manual tranny.
and i need a starter. some guy told me automatic and manual starters are the same. so my questions are..

1-should i use an EK starter? since the y5 comes from a d16(I THINK)
2- is that true auto and manual starters are the same?







thanks!

 

I think they should be the same BUT I just looked up starters for both the D15B7 and D16Y5 (96-00 Civic HX VTEC-E) and all of the part numbers were different. The MT starter for the Y5 is part number 06314-P2C-305RM. But I would go to the junkyard and grab an automatic starter off of a 92-95 and see if it works.

 

the eg 1s dont fit man. i have 1 that doesnt work and the bolts dont match up

 

any1????

 

Both EG and EK bolt up to the bellhousing.

No. They're not even close to being the same, although I can't remember exactly what was different.

 

no they dont. i have both at my house and they dont! at least the 1 for the y5

 

the y5, y7, y8 all use the same starter on the manual trannys, and also the manual and auto use different starters, iirc the auto is a bit longer we replaced one on my friends 95 lx and the guy at autozone gave us the wrong one and had to go back and get a manual one cause it was shorter. But as for the d15b7-d16y5 good luck.

 

So it sounds like

1: You definitely need to use a 96-00 MT starter
2: AT starters are different and cannot be used on your MT tranny.

 

thanks for the help man i appreciate it

i guess thats the 1 i need. thanks to you too!!!!!!!!!!
