[/ QUOTE ]I recently changed mine out,The mitsubishi starter I pulled out was an "early style" and a pain to rotate out of there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gifThe mitsubishi starter I received in exchange was a "late model starter".It went up in the hole rather easy. See if you can find one of those,Its way better.I'm on the O'reilly starter forever plan /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif---Rob /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

I recently bought the #16561, it said "made in Japan" on the starter, so I think that it is a Mitsu. Also, it looked a lot different than the photo listed on the website. Spins way fast /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I broke one bolt on re-install (bottomed out, lower-driver's side), so I would suggest new bolts and lock washers.
