yeah me too, my 98 3100 luminas starters coming off this weekend,and i'd like to know what iam in for.

 

it dosent look that hard to change. and i have the smaller starter.

 

i didn't think the 98s had the smaller setup...

 

but it's actually not that bad, IIRC i just had trouble with the stupid A/C compressor to starter brace that i refused to reinstall.

i know the stock starters got smaller in the later years, a 98 3100 most likely has a mid sized starter, much smaller than the giants that 3.1s had, but still not the tiny ones that some on 01+ 3x00s.

Tip: pull the oil filter off. With it off, you should be able to move the oil cooler lines just enough to squeeze the starter out. I did it twice on mine that way, and it cleared but only just. It also takes a but if wiggling, wedging and coaxing. The smaller starter going in it will be much easier.
