Detailed Description

Remy 17638 is a remanufactured starter for Honda Civic models from 1999 and 2000. The permanent magnet offset gear reduction design helps deliver the torque needed for engine cranking while maintaining a compact starter layout. With a 12V electrical specification, clockwise rotation, and an open nose cone, this unit follows the original application requirements for the listed Civic fitment. If you are searching for a 1999 Honda Civic starter or a 2000 Honda Civic starter, part number 17638 is the direct reference to use.

This starter cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a starter that clicks without cranking the engine
• Addressing slow or weak engine starts
• Correcting intermittent no-start conditions tied to starter wear
• Restoring proper starter engagement on 1999-2000 Honda Civic models
• Replacing a unit with worn internal electrical or drive components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, engine configuration, and starter match before installation. Confirm the 12V system, clockwise rotation, open nose design, and 9-tooth pinion count against the removed unit or OE reference. Inspect battery condition, cable connections, and ground integrity during replacement, since poor electrical supply can mimic starter failure. Use the OE part number 31200-P2T-J01 or Remy 17638 as reference points when checking application details.

Quality Assurance
