Dang,you are good. Every single step took 20x longer . I could never be a mechanic

Thanks Peter Griffin!!😂 great video!

Thanks did mine last night, the darn clips were the toughest part.

Thanks for your video! Oddly enough my 2011 GG6 has a different transmission, I guess. It is the CVT and the bolt at 2:44 is blocked by the housing. I am still trying to figure out how to get to this one. Apart from that, I really appreciate your effort!

Thanks , I need to do this soon,

This was a KZreadrs car. MN Treasure Hunter. He tried to live stream me on a different POS car the other day. Video quality wasn't that great.

Gosh I wish I had the know-how to do this. As much as I’d love to DIY this I’m probably just gonna go buy a new starter and have my local mechanic swap it out for me lol

Ahhh yes, the sweet, sweet, sounds of burning rice... I'm actually surprised the starter died, I've had a new Honda's way older than that pile with the OG starter... Maybe your pal does a lot of starting and stopping?

For sure! My 2008 Honda Fit gets 36.5 mpg going down interstate at 75 mph with the window rolled down(A/C doesn't work).

Hey, so I am getting the cold start / starter hanging up. I was probably going to buy the reman at the dealer ($300) because the new one is $700! The job looks enough of a pain in the rear that I don't want to buy a cheap aftermarket and have to do it again in a year. A lot of the aftermarket's come with lifetime though. That makes me lean more toward an aftermarket with lifetime (because the cost will be one time). Any advice on what is the better scenario? My fear is that I get a reman from the dealer and it goes bad in a few years. The original starter lasted a long time (but initially didn't see much use). Any advice is appreciated. Or what aftermarket might be high enough quality?

I have had the same or better luck with new Chinese starters. The new are pretty much all the same reboxed China. Doesnt matter what the box says.

So is it the same starter for a 2010 as it is for a 2013?

Thanks for doing this video. About how long did it take you do this ? I have a 09 Fit that starter seems to be failing.

It cranked really slow unless you jumped it, and gave it a bunch of extra amperage.

@@shannon3228 In Largo, FL, 2008 Honda Fit, just sarted doing what you described two days ago when the temps dropped to 43 F. Seems the cold is causing binding from the metal contracting, probably due to build up of fine particles in the solenoid.

is this the same on manual transmissions?

@@RustBeltAuto Hey, how did you get the starter in the hole??? I seem to have interference. I measured diameter of old vs new starter outer ring. Both appear to be same to good precision. Is starter supposed to press-fit into hole by hand action alone, or do you press it in with bolts??? I have been tearing my hands in the dark for two hours now. Both the connector does not seem to engage all the way on the RockAuto starter, and it does not want to go in the hole as well. Please help!!!!!
