car starter for an automatic or manual transmission?

i need to replace my starter and i aim looking online to buy a new one, but sometimes(not always) i see that it says "with manual transmisson or with automatic transmission," somewhere on the page. are there really different types of car starters for different transmissions? and if yes, if it a big difference?

thanks guys

    Yes, there can be a difference due to the different bell housings used with the different types of transmissions. You will want to make sure you buy the right starter for your application.

    what car? all the Chev's and Pont cad fords used the same starter. many parts books just ask dthis as a standard question even tho it dosent pertain to your specific need.

    some odd car could require a different starter./

    a hollander interchance manual will tell you for sure
