Don`t replace the starter, just replace the starter clutch. If you don`t want to tear into the starter, just take it to a starter repair shop, these type starters are used on a zillion automobiles. They will be very familiar with them.
Thanks! Just for clarification of terms, what are you referring to when you say starter clutch. Is it the kit that I mentioned or something else? You say it used on a bunch to autos. Looking at the manual, it looks like a Dodge starter to me..

Edit: never mind, I found my answer..

The fact that my 2009 had a polished inner fender and not the ugly black plastic one probably helped keep the labor cost down.
