1992 Volkswagen Golf 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Hello, I need to replace my starter because sometimes when you turn the ignition to start, it just winds because the pinion doesn't make contact with the flywheel. Is this a hard job?

There is a bit of a snag. You have to remove the motor mount next to exhaust. So you need to support motor there is a special toll but place car on jackstands. Place floor jack with piece of 2x4 to protect place on transaxle housing close to engine. Then remove mount and starter.
Hope this helps
