I think I did that with an old VW once, didn't think it would work with a modern tranny.
see the thing is it only squeals on start up every 8th, 10th, 5th, etc. completely random. Happens when its cold or warm. It doesn't seem to be getting worse either which is the confusing part. I'll have to keep a log of when it squeals.
How involved is replacing the starter? Not that I would attempt this on my own...
