why do you need a new one?

Cause mine is dying...

Its at the mechanics from this afternoon and they had a quick look and it is definately the starter motor, they are looking further into it in the morning and i am just finding out some details for then.

Basically the symptom is the key is turned the starter motor sounds like its just free spinning and not turning the engine over...and if i stop and turn the key a few times, eventually it will turn over the engine.

so it spins just doesnt throw out to the flywheel?

take it to an autoelectrician, should cost $80 to reco the current starter.

reconditioning starter

Pro: price, environment (not throwing away something that could be repaired)

cons: ?? are there any

best to replace the internals (aka reco). Can last u the same life span as you would to get a new one ;)

As I sent you in the PM, Toyota list the same part number between the two engines.

I'd hate to see how much Toyota want for a new one!

its probably the one way sprag in the starter, yea easy fix for sparky, cost is about $40 for the sprag but they will usually mark it up to at least 80...... its a common problem in any starter, it will kick out still but just spins the inner shaft inside the sprag instead of spinning the gear. good as new when they replace it as the gear and sprag r all one unit,
