OEX Starter Motor 12V 12T CW Mitsubishi Style MXS237
The OEX Starter Motor MXS237 is a new 12V starter motor with 12 teeth, clockwise rotation and a 1.7kW power rating. It is listed as a Mitsubishi style unit with a 3 hole starter mount type, so the physical mounting pattern and pinion details are important when comparing it to the unit already fitted.
Key dimensions include 108mm mount centres A, 66mm mount centres C and 68mm mount centres B, with a 67mm flange diameter, M10x1.25 mount hole diameter and 255mm overall length. The pinion sits 16mm at rest, with a 37mm pinion diameter, and the unit weighs 3.88kg.
This is an OEX rotating electrical product sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with supply from ISO certified factories. It is backed by a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty, so it is suitable for buyers wanting a new replacement starter with clearly stated specifications and a defined warranty period.

Application and Buying Notes
Before ordering, compare the existing starter against the MXS237 details: 12V, 12 teeth, clockwise rotation, 1.7kW, 3 hole mount, and the mounting measurements of 108mm, 68mm and 66mm. These physical and electrical points matter because Mitsubishi style starters can differ in mounting pattern, pinion set-up and body length even when they look similar.
The pinion and body measurements are especially useful when space is tight or when the original starter has been changed before. Check the 67mm flange diameter, 37mm pinion diameter, 16mm pinion at rest and 255mm overall length against the removed unit to reduce the chance of ordering the wrong starter.
This unit is supplied new and carries a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty, which is different depending on how the vehicle is used. If the vehicle is for commercial work, the shorter warranty period should be considered before purchase, and the starter should still be matched by specification rather than appearance alone.
The listed fitment information points to Mazda applications, including Mazda 929 and Mazda MPV, but the starter is also described as Mitsubishi style. That makes part number MXS237, along with the mount centres and rotation, the safest checks to use when confirming suitability for a specific vehicle.
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 MXS237 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 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 MAZDA 929, MAZDA 929 1987, MAZDA 929 1988, MAZDA 929 1989. 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 the part number MXS237, the 12V 12 tooth clockwise specification, and the recorded mount and body dimensions before ordering. Mazda fitment is shown in the supplied information, but final compatibility should always be checked against the vehicle application and the original unit.
