Hi,

The starter motor is located at the front section of the engine closest to the radiator. You will find it at approximately oil pan height right where the engine and transmission join together.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

When you do the replacement, make sure the battery negative terminal is disconnected prior to starting the procedure.

Let me know if you have other questions or if I can help in any way.

Take care,

Joe
