Mitsubishi Starter Motor 12V 11TH CW Part No. PCA1479

This Mitsubishi starter motor is a 12V unit with 11 teeth, clockwise rotation, and part number PCA1479. It is a new starter motor for the rotating electrical system, with a 5.5kW power rating, 3-hole starter mount type, and a listed weight of 13.5kg.

Key physical dimensions include 126mm mount centres A, B and C, a 92mm flange diameter, 16mm mount hole diameter, 347mm overall length, 56mm pinion diameter, and 48mm pinion at rest. Those measurements are important when checking that the starter will sit correctly in the intended application.

The unit is listed as suitable for Mitsubishi applications and the supplied fitment data includes Kenworth C-Series, K-Series, L-Series and T-Series references. Because starter motors need the right mounting pattern, rotation and pinion setup, confirming the part number and dimensions before purchase is the safest approach.

Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, compare the part number PCA1479 with the starter removed from the vehicle or the vehicle’s verified application listing. Starter motors can share a similar 12V rating yet differ in tooth count, rotation, mount type and pinion measurements, so the 11-tooth CW configuration and 3-hole mount need to match the original setup.

The listed dimensions give practical checks that matter during installation: 126mm mount centres, 92mm flange diameter, 16mm mount hole diameter, 347mm overall length and a 56mm pinion diameter. If any of those do not line up with the vehicle’s existing starter, the unit may not suit the application even if the brand appears similar.

This unit is rated at 5.5kW and is described as suitable for wet or dry clutch applications. That makes the electrical and mechanical specification clear, but it does not replace a proper vehicle match check. Verify the rotation, tooth count and pinion at rest measurement of 48mm alongside the application details before committing to the purchase.

The starter is listed as a new Mitsubishi unit and carries a 2 years / 400,000km warranty. Warranty terms are useful, but they do not confirm fitment. The safest buying process is to confirm the application, compare the physical measurements, and match the part number PCA1479 to the original unit or parts record.

If you are sourcing for a heavy vehicle application, the Kenworth references provided should be treated as guidance only until the starter’s mounting style and dimensions have been checked. On starter motors, one incorrect detail such as tooth count, flange size or rotation can stop the part from engaging correctly.

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 PCA1479 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.

Mitsubishi Starter Motor 12V 11Th CW. Part number PCA1479 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 PCA1479, 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.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility using part number PCA1479, the 12V CW specification, 11-tooth pinion, 3-hole mount, and the listed dimensions before ordering.
