i got an 89 f150 4.9 5 speed n i was wondering if i can use a starter out of an automatic till i get money to get a new one?

 

All you have to do is call up an auto parts store and ask for a starter for your vehicle with a manual and automatic, FYI.
Part numbers match=auto. starter will work
Part numbers don't match=03-0402X(Auto)/03-0388(Man)=auto. starter will not work
To my knowledge, i've never seen a vehicle where a starter was interchangeable between auto and man trans.

 

im askin if i can pull a starter out of an auto matic to use till i get paid n can get the right starter was goin to pull one out of a junk yard for now DX

 

No

 

NOOO!!! i have to bum a ride from someone now

 

Bluecar, did you look that up? I'm pretty sure they're the same.

 

No they are different

 

I just looked it up myself. There is no part number difference for automatic or manual, it doesn't specify a difference.

 

Why O'reilly list a different part number for the 300 between a man and auto tranny is beyond me. According to @LLD@T@ they ARE THE SAME, are you telling me Ford went out of the way to design both transmissions to use the same starter? I'm still in doubt, show me more proof!

 

i do have to say cant you pop the clutch to get it going? i know its not the best thing but it got me out of a jam before.
