Do not buy this starter. I tightened it with screws and noticed that the cable was not connected to the starter, I had to loosen the long screws holding it together and rotate the core 180 degrees. Even after I turned it on, the car rolled over but wouldn't start. I noticed that the part was very hot after a failed attempt. I ended up having to convert my original Mitsubishi core starter from it and finally got the ignition. Also, the screw that you connect your power supply to is easy to break off if over-tightened. Junk and even misassembled, how do you send the main cable hanging the wrong way?

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Good but not great
