Any tips for this? There was a thread many years ago about how difficult it is to replace the starter along with tips on how to minimize the difficulty. But it does not show up when I search the group for "starter". Now that I need to do it, I can see that the difficulty was not exaggerated

The starter isn't so bad, if I recall. The alternator is not great, though.Here's the removal per Mazda's manual:

And another point, at least is important to me, is that the cleaner the area the easier it is. It also may help to remove the battery to get a better view of the transmission bolts and alignment?
I have TWO of these to do soon. One car intermittently clicks the solenoid, and after three or four cycles of clicking it finally turns the starter. Does anyone have a cure for that other than replacement?
Second car, the starter “overruns”, or you can hear the flywheel spinning the pinion for a second after the engine starts.
I have ONE new starter, now to decide which car gets the new one and which starter can be repaired.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the information Joel. Has anyone rebuilt or repaired the switch? Can I assume it is the electrical part of the switch that is faulty? Or perhaps the mechanical to electrical contacts such as in a window or mirror switch where the copper contacts corrode and need cleaning?
Would like to keep one of the cars stock. The driver, perhaps a push switch makes it more sporty.
