What It Helps Fix

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and starter configuration before installation. Confirm clockwise rotation, 12-volt electrical system, 8-tooth drive count, and direct drive layout against the removed unit or service information. For 1993-1996 Mitsubishi Mirage, 1992-1994 Dodge Colt, and 1992-1994 Mitsubishi Expo LRV applications, match the starter by fitment rather than appearance alone.
