I think they are all the same, but not 100% sure.
Why don't you get a fellow rexer to come by with an extra stater and give it a shot...

I'm not sure about the solenoid itself, but the starter is different. The auto starters put out more torque.

I think they are different. I've got a brand new starter that I'd sell. It's for a manual.
