Kyle,
Not mysterious at all.
Disconnect battery.
Disconnect wiring to the starter.
The engine to transmission bolt above #1 cylinder has to come out
and one other bolt on "bottom" of the starter.
Starter should wiggle straight out toward the front of the car.
Clean all connectors going to the starter motor for good contact.
If you are anal, then you will feel the need to replace the starter
bushing in the transmission case. There are numerous suggestions on how
to do this on the net without the special "tool".
Install new starter. Now for the "hard" part. Put the top bolt pack in
and then the nut from the engine side. If you use a piece of tape or
mastic or somethingto hold the top bolt while you put the washer and nut
on from the engine side it is no big deal.
Tighten both starter bolts evenly, put the starter wires back in the right
places and reconnect the battery.
All done.
Cheers, dave

I have the official factory manual, but it seems a bit sparse in the section
where you new to replace the starter. Any tips
from anybody who has done this before? It mentioned it being a 2 person job
with some mysterious bolt involved within the
engine compartment itself.
Let me know,
Kyle

Nick,
Usually low oil pressure is a good indicator, but a qualified machinist
will bolt the case together and torque and then measure the bearing
landings to see if there is a misalignment.
