crawl under the car and look up. should be on the front of the block right under the oil filter. I believe its 3 bolts and a couple connections. pretty straight forward.

Directly under the oil filter. There are two bolts, and two or three wires.

You'll need 13mm and 15mm sockets, possibly an 8mm socket depending on how the small wire to the solenoid is attached (usually it is a single-wire slip-on connector).

The lowest bolt on the transmission housing is 13mm if I remember correctly. The top bolt, is a studded 13mm hex head, with a 15mm nut on top to retain the large ground wire. The 15mm nut sits close to the transmission housing, so a thick-walled socket won't work. I find a 3/8" drive socket works, with a 3" extension so the ratchet-head does not hit the transmission housing.

The largest wire to the starter solenoid is held in place by a 13mm washer-nut, if it is the original. A ratcheting wrench works best for this one.

Being a computer geek is no excuse. I'm quite the computer geek as well, and I do all the maintenance on my cars. Nuts and bolts aren't any different than screws and molex connectors! It's just a little more messy, that's all. Cutting your knuckles on a crescent wrench isn't any different than slicing your fingers on a Zalman CNPS9700!

True the darn case are sharp in areas, i guess i just need to dive in and see what happens. I guess if I break it someone can always help me fix it.

starter replacement

call or PM me if you have any questions, I can post some pics if you need them. My 95 ATX is up on jacks currently, so pics of the starter location are no problem.

I agree this is a fairly simple replacement with a few basic mechanics tools and two jackstands.

be sure to disconnect the neg battery cable first.

here are a few links which may help.

Not totally specific for the SHO, but good info on how much to torque the bolts, etc.
