It is listed as a Mitsubishi style starter motor and suits automatic transmission applications only, with the note to use MXS228 for manual transmission fitments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey dimensions for checking against the vehicle are a 105mm mount centre measurement, 77mm flange diameter, 207mm overall length and a 28mm pinion diameter. The starter uses a 2 hole mount, M10 x 1.25 mount hole diameter and has a pinion at rest measurement of 9mm, which is an important check before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis part is supplied as new, weighs 3.54kg and is covered by a 3 year warranty for passenger use or 1 year for commercial use.

Those figures are the most useful checks when matching a replacement starter motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transmission note matters here. This starter is listed for automatic transmission applications, and the manual transmission alternative is MXS228. If the vehicle is manual, do not rely on the Mitsubishi style description alone; confirm the gearbox type and pinion at rest measurement against the vehicle and the removed unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listed fitment information includes Mitsubishi, Ford, Hyundai and Mitsubishi Fuso applications, but the safest way to confirm suitability is to match the OE number M1T73383, the MXS285 part number and the physical dimensions. Starter motors can look similar while differing in mount centres, pinion position and rotation direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor workshop or trade use, the 1.2kW rating, 77mm flange diameter and M10 x 1.25 mount holes help narrow the match quickly. If the replacement unit does not align with those measurements, it is better to pause and re-check than to force fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That is useful context when selecting the correct replacement, but warranty cover still depends on the part being installed in the intended application and checked against the listed specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number MXS285 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelevant published details for this unit include Type STARTER MOTOR, Unit of Measure EACH, Warranty 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial, Mount Centres A 105mm, Number of Teeth 8, Pinion at Rest 9mm, Power Rating 1.2kW, Suits Unit Make Mitsubishi, Note Automatic Transmission.

Part number MXS285 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor part number MXS285, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable application references include FE6) 1989, FE6) 1990, FE6) 1991, FE6) 1992, FORD RAIDER, FORD RAIDER 1991.

Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confirm fitment by matching the MXS285 part number, OEM number M1T73383, automatic transmission application note and the physical measurements before purchase.
