So my dad starter motor craped out on him. It's a 2002 pathy 3.5 V6. i have replaced the starter on my 90 pathy. but have no clue on how to go about with this one. can any one help me?

 

Please and thanks

BTW i searched and all i find is older pathys info.

I don't know about the 3.5's but my starter died back in April & I switched that out in like an hour. It wasn't that hard, kind of like an altenator. But like I said I don't know if the 3.5 is that much different.

I had mine out when I did my clutch on my 2002. It wasn't too hard to get the 3 bolts(2 from back and 1 from front). I only pulled it clear of bellhousing and it was a pain moving it around and lining it back up. I also had the tranny mount removed and tranny lowered but I don't think that made starter removal easier or harder. I think it could be a DIY but You will probably swear a bit. For the top bolt from the front I used 2 feet of extension starting from under the rad support.

Holy Hanna...looking at it it does look like lots of fun, but that sounds extra fun! Thanks for the experience/warning
