Do you have a M/T or A/T, that starter is for a A/T.

In the first part of your vid, the starter isn't even engaging the flex plate. The second part sounds really weak. I'd say replace it.

well here is the receipt
-19407 Duralast Starter - 97.99 (I have a 6spd)
- Core Charge - 54.00
- Shipping - free (ordered online, shipped to my house)
Subtotal - 151.99
Tax - 13.30
Total - 165.29

After I changed it, I put the old one back in the box, brought it to AZ with the receipt and got my core charge money back ($54.00). So overall I only spent Right over $100. Not bad at all in my book.

it could be cheaper if you have reward points or get it at places like AAP that almost always have some kind of coupon.

Not a bad price, but could be better. Just sayin'

pardon my ignorance, but what is the core charge of 50$ for? I may be in the need of a new starter and this looks like a good option.

^ It's an incentive to you to bring your old part back for overhaul and resale as you get the core charge back when the return of the core (or part you are replacing).
