    Yes. The thing you need to watch out for is that if you car is a 5-speed, you use a starter from a 5-speed. Same goes for automatic. Also there are two types of starters, Mitsuba and Nippondenso, make sure you get the correct one.

    O.k. get this
    I go to pick up my check come back out car no starty.
    Roll it back to start, go to o'riley's buy the cheapest starter $70
    I notice it looks totally different.like it weighs more has a more solid casing and the connection points are at different places.
    Go home and see that the starter wire connections plastic surround is all broken up so i go to my local o'riley's to try to trade. They tell me i somehow got the nippodenso version which was $80-100
    Now the car sounds like a truck when i start it! I love it!
    BTW before this starter everyone thats been in this car has been an auto starter. I noticed the auto one has a longer kick out gear but didn't see any other differences
