No...

I recently bought a rebuilt for my manual, but found when installed it wouldn't
engage...it's at the mechanic now but there is still some doubt about if there
might be two starters for the manual depending on chasis number.

The starter off the automatic is different though...I'm not sure of the
specifics but just know that the automatic called for a different number.
