1996 mustang cobra how do you change starter where is it located what is estimated time thanks?

The starter is a cylindrical unit alongside the transmission. If I remember correctly there are three bolts holding this thing on, in an incredibly poorly designed assembly. You will need a flexible socket-wrench extension to get the top bolt out, and you can pretty much forget about putting it back in when you're done. I don't think even a dealer reinstalls this bolt; it is long gone on my car.

Bolt tension is stated in the Chilton's manual at 15-19 pounds.

That's all I have for ya.
