i am in need of a new starter, and there are a number of companies out there, any suggestions on who to use or who to stay away from?
74 1.8 in case anyone has a good used one. thanks Brian |

The SR 17X has a built in bearing in the nose, and is designed to operate in an application that has no bearing/bushing in the transmission case. The SR 15X requires a bushing in the case. The SR 17X will work in either application, the SR 15X will work only in cases with the support bushing. The armature doesn't like flopping around in the starter body.

The Cap'n (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I was pointing out that the starter in the ebay link says it is for a bug and is self supporting like a sr17x. It's been common practice for years to replace a SR15X with the SR17X in a bug because of a worn out bushing or just as an upgrade. |
