Yep, agree 100% with soD! When I was younger & less wise, I had a Chevette where the starter died; the thing was a real bugger to get out. Bought a 'lifetime warranty' starter and it died within 6 months. Repeated 3 more times (I'm a slow learner) before buying a more expensive (and better!) starter.
It wasn't just replacing the starter that was a hassle... it was also coming out after a long day's work and finding out that the starter died again. Jumper cables wouldn't do squat, so the only other option was to bump start the car. And then park strategically everywhere I went until I had time to trade in the replacement starter and get it replaced. Wasn't long before coworkers called the Chevette the 'Shove it'.
