That starter is Ok (make sure you get the lifetime warranty--8 yrs from now if you need a new one its free).

also the other autoparts stores sell good starters. i've bought they from many stores over the years and haven't gotten a truly bad one yet.

Here is a guide to help walk you through the starter replacement.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
