Detailed Description

Remy 96104 is a replacement starter for GM compact and midsize cars from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. It is built as a new unit rather than remanufactured, and its direct drive layout supports the original starter architecture used on the listed Buick Skylark, Chevrolet Cavalier, Oldsmobile Achieva, Pontiac Grand Am, Pontiac Sunfire, Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Oldsmobile Calais applications. The closed nose design, clockwise rotation, and 9-tooth pinion help ensure the starter matches the original fitment requirements for these vehicles.

This part cross-references Delco/Delphi-style starter applications for the same vehicle coverage.

What It Helps Solve

• Engine no-crank condition caused by a failed starter
• Intermittent starting after key engagement
• Slow or weak cranking during ignition
• Starter noise related to worn internal components
• Replacement needs for original Delco/Delphi-style starter units

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original starter configuration before installation, including 12-volt system requirements, clockwise rotation, closed nose design, and 9-tooth pinion count. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s year, make, and model, especially on 1987-1995 Buick Skylark, 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier, 1992-1995 Oldsmobile Achieva, and 1988-1995 Pontiac Grand Am listings. Check electrical connections, mounting points, and cable condition during replacement to help ensure proper starting system operation.

Quality Assurance

Remy New identifies this as a new starter assembly built for OE-style replacement use. The OE manufacturer reference to Delco/Delphi supports application matching for the listed GM vehicles.
