I have the car listed above that needs a starter changed and replaced and I want to know can it be replaced with any other type of starter. like what would be compatible with it to make my car run okay so that it'll start?

Hi,

You need to get a direct fit part for this. If you try something different, there will be differences and it will likely not work.

Here is a link showing how in general a starter is replaced:

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
