I have an 87 RX-7. Nothing special about it. I think that my starter has gone bad. ITs not the starter interlock switch because i have now bypassed it. There is a plastic cover under the car that is over the engine. Do i have to remove that cover to get to the starter? Or is the starter behind the exhaust. Have any of you replaced your starter yourself? I could use some help with this problem. I can't find the starter so I need some advice. thanks

It bolts on from the tranny side to the back of the engine on the driver side

yep i cant remember if its covered by the cover though i cant remember right now

wait nevermind its not im completly possitive its not under the cover

theres no cover, 2 14mm bolts super easy

There are only two bolts and two nuts to remove. Its simple



Just disconnect the negative battery cable before you begin

yeah the power is nice to have off i remember accidently touching a wire on a starter once with the power on i wont go into detail but lets say you dont want to do it.

i remember doing this. wasnt fun the first time. its not so bad though. the starter is on the drivers side next to the tranny. did you find it yet?? heres a tip. find a shop thats good at rebuilding starters and they will do it all for less than 80 bucks prob. that includes removal and installation. if you want to do it yourself its not so hard. what is it doing to make you think the starter is going out. let us diagnose your prob for you man.

thats why the fuel filter moved for the 3rd gens
