I have a 95 integra LS special edition which was bought used and I'm starting to have starter problems. I know for sure it's the starter that's going bad. But my question is....is the starters from a LS and GSR interchangable? Reason I'm asking is because there has been 2 incidents where I bought the correct starters (NON vtec DOHC) and both times the top bolt does not line up on the trans. Could the GSR starter fit? There is a sticker code on the trans and the first 3 letter/numbers is Y80 if this helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

Y80 is a GSR trans.

Edit: wait.., give me a sec.



Okay, seems that GSRs and LS/RS's use the code Y80. Seems to be a big mystery I guess.

 

They are interchangeable, they are the same part from Acura(94-95 MT only).

I had a 95 GSR y80 in my 00 LS. The starter that came with car worked just fine.
