Product Details

Remy 17479 is a remanufactured starter designed around OE Mitsubishi specifications for Mazda starting-system service. The unit uses a permanent magnet gear reduction layout, which is common in modern starter assemblies where compact size and efficient cranking performance are required. With a 1.4 power rating, 12-volt operation, clockwise rotation, and an 11-tooth pinion, this starter matches the electrical and mechanical requirements of the listed Mazda fitments. This part cross-references Mitsubishi-style applications using OE reference numbers such as L327-18-400 and M0T87681 for the same application.

Compatible With 2004-2009 Mazda 3, N/A; 2006-2010 Mazda 5, N/A; 2006-2007 Mazda 6, N/A; and 2007-2009 Mazda CX-7, N/A. If you are searching for a remanufactured starter for Mazda 3, Mazda 5, Mazda 6, or CX-7 models, Part Number 17479 is the catalog reference to verify against your vehicle’s original starter configuration.

Common Starting Problems This Part Can Address

• Engine no-crank condition when the ignition key is turned

• Intermittent starter engagement
• Starter motor failure from worn internal components
• Electrical starting-system faults tied to the original starter assembly

Installation Notes

Verify the original starter’s voltage, rotation direction, pinion tooth count, and nose cone style before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s OE reference and compare the existing unit to Remy 17479 to ensure the correct Mazda 3, Mazda 5, Mazda 6, or CX-7 application. Inspect battery condition, cable integrity, and ground connections during replacement so the new starter is not affected by upstream electrical issues.
