Mitsubishi M2T88671 Starter Motor Assembly

This starter motor assembly is manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric to OE specifications for Mazda RF5C-18-400 applications. It features a 12V 2.3kW output with clockwise rotation. The pinion gear has 12 teeth and engages via an 88mm diameter flange with three mounting bores. The unit is a direct replacement for Mazda 2.0L RF turbo diesel engines found in Mazda 6 (2002-2012) and Mazda 3 (2006-2009) models, as well as industrial forklift applications utilizing the Mazda FE engine series. The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy with a steel nose cone for durability. Internal components include a permanent magnet field, planetary gear reduction, and an overrunning clutch. The solenoid is integrated with a pull-in and hold-in winding configuration. Electrical connection uses a standard M8 battery terminal and a spade terminal for the ignition switch.
