Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a starter motor, the safest check is the part number and the physical match. For this unit, the important identifiers are MXS254, 12V, 8 teeth, CW rotation, 2-hole mount, and 98mm mount centres. If any of those details differ from the existing starter, the part may not suit the vehicle.

The mounting and drive details matter as much as the electrical rating. This starter is listed with a 73mm flange diameter, M10x1.25 mount hole diameter, 201mm overall length, and a 28mm pinion diameter with 11mm pinion at rest. Those measurements are the best guide when comparing to the original starter or checking available space around the bellhousing.

The unit is new and rated at 1.4kW, with a dry clutch application noted in the specifications. It is backed by a 3yr Passenger and 1yr Commercial warranty, but warranty coverage does not replace the need to verify compatibility before fitting. If the vehicle has been modified, or if the existing starter has been replaced previously, compare the old unit carefully rather than relying on model name alone.

The fitment listing includes Mitsubishi and Hyundai Sonata applications, but starter motor listings often vary by engine, transmission, and build date. Use the vehicle application details only as a guide and confirm the match using the part number, tooth count, rotation direction, mount style, and dimensions supplied here.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number MXS254 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For part number MXS254, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include HYUNDAI SONATA, HYUNDAI SONATA 1990, HYUNDAI SONATA 1991, HYUNDAI SONATA 1992, MITSUBISHI 3000 GT, MITSUBISHI 3000 GT 1992. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment using part number MXS254, the 12V 8-tooth CW specification, and the mounting and dimensional details before ordering. Vehicle model names are only a guide and should be checked against the original starter on the vehicle.
