Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Mitsubishi S12R?
Yes, it was made for the Mitsubishi S12R, and 1 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old starter motor is marked 37766-20200 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the starter motor on my Mitsubishi S12R?

What are the signs the starter motor needs replacing?
Clicking with a good battery, slow cranking, grinding as it engages, or the starter staying engaged after the engine fires.
What should I disconnect first?
