Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a starter motor, the part number, terminal type, rotation, tooth count, and mounting pattern need to match the vehicle application. For this unit, the key identifiers are MXS2012, 12V, 10 teeth, clockwise rotation, and the oval switch terminal. If the removed starter has a different terminal style, mounting layout, or drive specification, it should be checked carefully before ordering.

The 105mm mount centres A, 65mm flange diameter, M10x1.5 mount holes, and 228mm overall length are practical measurements to compare against the existing starter. The pinion diameter is 32mm and the pinion sits 3mm at rest, which can matter when assessing physical fit around the bell housing and surrounding components.

This starter is listed as a dry clutch unit and is described as Mitsubishi style, so it is important to confirm the vehicle’s original starter arrangement rather than relying on appearance alone. The note on the oval switch terminal is also relevant: for spade switch terminal use MXS2010. That detail can save time if the vehicle uses a different trigger connection.

Warranty cover is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That difference is worth noting if the starter is being fitted to a work vehicle, because the warranty category depends on how the vehicle is used. The unit is sold each, and the weight is 3.2kg, which may help when handling or comparing freight estimates.

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 MXS2012 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 MXS2012, 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 JEEP CHEROKEE, JEEP CHEROKEE 2001, JEEP CHEROKEE 2002, JEEP CHEROKEE 2003. 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: Confirm fitment by matching part number MXS2012, the 12V 10-tooth clockwise specification, the oval switch terminal, and the mounting dimensions against the removed unit and vehicle application details before purchase.
