I'll keep this short and simple. So, my starter decided to die on me the other day. I have a friend who works at AutoZone, and he was able to get me 20% off. I bought it, got home, and went right to work. However, I'm having some trouble getting it installed. I've installed a starter on my 06 Justacooper before and didn't have this much trouble. I have an 05 MCS now. Is this the wrong part or just difficult to install?

 

Well, solved my own question. The store has the automatic and manual starters switched for some reason.

 

Hope it has a lifetime warrenty....
You will be changing it every year or so till you sell the car...
Virtually EVERY electrical component I have gotten from autozone has failed on me (all non-mini's...).
Wish the best of luck to you...but you have to admit....
Them having the wrong parts listed is not a good start...

 

I don't think it was the store. I had the same problem. Part numbers were opposite.
