Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number MXS228 with the original starter and confirm the key mounting details: 12V, CW rotation, 8 teeth, 2-hole mount, 105mm mount centres, 77mm flange diameter and M10 x 1.25 mount holes. These are the most practical checkpoints for avoiding a mismatch.

The listed dimensions also help when checking physical clearance around the bellhousing and mounting face. Overall length is 207mm, nose cone length is 53mm, pinion diameter is 26mm and pinion at rest is 16mm, so the replacement should be compared carefully with the unit coming off the vehicle.

Because the application data covers multiple makes and models, including Mitsubishi, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Proton, Daedong, Kioti, Kubota and Mazda, it is best to treat the fitment list as a guide rather than a guarantee. The safest approach is to verify the vehicle application, the starter type and the part number together before purchase.

This unit is a new starter motor rather than a remanufactured one, and it is specified as a dry clutch type. If the existing vehicle uses a different mounting pattern, rotation direction or tooth count, the part should not be assumed to suit just because the vehicle appears in the application list.

The warranty is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That gives a clear reference point for end use, but it does not replace the need to confirm electrical and mounting compatibility before fitting.

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 MXS228 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 MXS228 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 MXS228, 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 CHRYSLER SIGMA, DAEDONG CK20, DAEDONG CK20 2003, FE6) 1999, FE6) 2000, FE6) 2001. 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.

The listed warranty is 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment using part number MXS228, the 12V CW 8-tooth specification and the measured mounting details before ordering. If the vehicle details, starter type or mounting pattern differ from the listed specification, do not assume compatibility.
