Need a new starter, which one?

[BLACK6PACK]

Hey guys,
My starters on its way out, it won't work unless massage it with a hammer! So my question is, which starter, how much and how much work to get it shimmed right?

LT1 starter? How much? What part #?

Factory replacement? How much? Part #?

TIA

the LT4 starter is the smallest & lightest, though, not the LT1. The LT4 is used on most 1988-1996 corvettes.

LT4 part # is 10455709 , costs about $145 at GMpartsDirect, + $25-30 S/H. No core is allowed, these are sold outright.

New bolts are required, too.

I'd get the one from turbobuicks.com (I did) and I can't imagine a better starter for the price. Comes with all the bolte, is small and light.

If you want one of the newer lighter starters, go with what the other members suggest & I probably will next time.
When mine went out, I had to have one right away & the gear drive newer ones were going for $250 & up. I ended up with a lifetime warranty rebuild for $40.

Musta been the German engineering.

I had a local alternator shop rebuild mine. Kept the original housing and placed heavy duty internal parts. Works great! Didn't have to do anything with shims. All for $40.00.
