I called the manifold the throttle body and vice versa a couple times so apologies there lol YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE MANIFOLD!!! It's just 2X easier but 2x more the headache to remove the starter :) REMOVE THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL ON THE BATTERY FIRST!!!! I couldn't find a tutorial anywhere on how to remove/install a starter for RSX type-s. I forgot to mention that mine is a 2004. Not sure if the '05-'06 are different. If your car is making a weird grinding noise upon start or if you turn the key and it sputters until it starts with some grinding, its most likely your starter...it was for me. SIDE NOTE: I forgot to mention in the video that you will most likely need a pry bar of some sort to remove the manifold. For me, the manifold didn't come out because the alternator got in the way just enough to where I couldn't get the right angle to get it out. You may want another person there to help. Taking off your front bumper helps also. If you know what you're doing, this should be a 1-3 hour job. If you don't or if you were a first timer attempting this without the right tools like me....3-4 days LOL!! Be prepared for tight squeeze areas when you remove the manifold brackets from the bottom. Be careful when you remove the sensor from the block as the plastic is cheap and if you're an idiot like me and pull the plastic instead of the sensor from the clip, it will break off needing to be JB welded back on ha ha! Good Luck and if I missed anything hit me up and I will answer if i can :)
