Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, check the part number RXS297 against the existing unit and compare the listed dimensions: 97mm mount centres A, 71mm flange diameter, 46mm nose cone length and 197mm overall length. Starter fitment can vary even within the same vehicle family, so the 8-tooth pinion, 12V rating and clockwise rotation all need to match the original specification.

The mounting arrangement is also important. This unit is a 2-hole starter motor with mount hole diameter listed as 11.3/10 x 1.2, and the pinion diameter is 28mm with 10mm pinion at rest. Those details help confirm the starter will physically suit the bellhousing and engagement setup on the vehicle it is intended for.

Although the fitment data points to Mitsubishi applications, it is still best to verify the exact engine and build details on the vehicle you are working on. The listed applications include Mitsubishi FTO, Galant, Magna, Outlander and Verada variants, but the safest check is always the original starter part number, mounting style and tooth count.

Because this is a remanufactured starter, it is sensible to inspect the electrical connections, mounting face and surrounding components before installation. The unit weighs 2kg and is described as dry clutch type, so correct handling during install matters, especially where access is tight or the old starter has shown signs of heat or wear.

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 RXS297 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.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 8Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number RXS297 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number RXS297, 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 MITSUBISHI FTO, MITSUBISHI FTO 1994, MITSUBISHI FTO 1995, MITSUBISHI FTO 1996. 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 compatibility using part number RXS297, the 12V clockwise specification, the 8-tooth pinion, and the measured mounting dimensions before ordering.
