89gtu

i'm new to the board and i'm logged in on my friends name. anyways, i'm buying an 89gtu for $300. it's an automatic, yea i know that's bad...i previously owned a 91 vert so i know enough about them and was hooked the first time i drove the vert. when you try to start the gtu, it just clicks...starter, right? i was wondering:
1. has anyone replaced a starter on an automatic 2g?
2. is it hard to replace the starter?
3. what would i need to make it a 5-speed? (definitely future plans)
4. do the automatic gtu's come with the lsd?

thanks for your time, please try to help me out by answering as much as possible.

Most of your questions have been answered many many times. You may wish to use the seach function found in the upper right hand corner of this page.

In addition this thread will help:

as to your question on the LSD:
Once again the following cars had a LSD from the factory:

86-88 GXL
87-91 Turbo II
88 GTU
89-90 GTUs

No other models came with a factory LSD.
and
If it is a
86-87 Sport/GS
89-90 GXL
89-90 GTU
86-87 Luxury/GX
86-87 Base
88 SE
91 Coupe
88-92 'vert

It did not come from the factory with a LSD standard or optional.

You said you had a 89 GTU... refering to my post you'll notice that the 89 GTU didn't come with a LSD.

In 89 only the GTUs (note the small "S") and the Turbo II came with a factory LSD.

Perhaps this would be of help figuring out the S5 models:
