Review on High-Quality Starter Replacement for Acura CL 3.0 98 99 (1998-1999), TL 3.2 99 (1999), MDX 3.5 01 02 (2001-2002), Honda Accord 3.0L 3.0 98-07 (1998-2007), Odyssey 2006-2009, Pilot 3.5 03-05 (2003-2005), 06312-P8A-5050 by Wayne Martin

I replaced a 2005 Honda Accord 3.0 vtec starter. I needed a tension rod to loosen the bolts and remove the old starter, but once removed the new starter fit just like the original one and was easy to install. Started right after installation. It sounds a little different than the OEM starter, maybe a little faster. Time will tell if it holds up, but the $60 starter on my 13-year-old Honda was worth the try. I'm sure a Honda dealer would charge at least $300 for labor and parts.
