Detailed Description

Remy 99404 is a new starter assembly engineered for OE-style fitment on a wide range of Mitsubishi-based platforms, including Mitsubishi Galant, Eclipse, Mirage, Montero, Mighty Max, and related Hyundai and Dodge applications. The closed nose design, 8-tooth pinion, and clockwise rotation support direct replacement use where the original starter matches these specifications. This part also cross-references Mitsubishi OE numbers such as MD172860 and MD172862 for the same application.

Brand Line New identifies this as a new starter product line, which is appropriate for buyers looking for a fresh replacement rather than a remanufactured unit. The part number 99404 is commonly searched alongside vehicle-specific terms such as Mitsubishi Galant starter, Hyundai Sonata starter, and Mitsubishi Eclipse starter.

Common Problems This Starter Can Address

• Engine cranks slowly or inconsistently
• No-crank condition when the ignition key is turned
• Starter motor failure from worn internal components
• Intermittent starting caused by a weak or damaged starter assembly
• Noise during cranking from pinion or drive wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify voltage, rotation direction, nose cone style, and pinion tooth count before installation. Confirm the OE reference and vehicle application against the existing starter on Mitsubishi Galant, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Hyundai Sonata, and other listed models. Check battery condition, cable integrity, and charging system output before replacing the starter to avoid repeat starting issues.

Quality Assurance

Remy supplies new electrical components for starter and charging system service, and this unit is built to match the listed OE manufacturer reference and application details. Use the part number 99404 and the vehicle fitment data to confirm the correct starter for your application before installation.
