starter motor silly question

does anyone know if a 1.6 starter motor is the same on a manual and auto?

phoned up GSF today and asked about prices of a new one for my 1.6, and they have said they only stock 1 for a 1.6 and it fits both, so i am a bit confussed as i have read they are different on manuals and autos.
