Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number MXS313 and the physical details against the unit being replaced. The key checks here are 12V voltage, 8 teeth, clockwise rotation, 1kW rating, and the 3-hole mounting pattern with 110mm, 78mm and 78mm mount centres.

The listed dimensions matter as much as the electrical specification. A starter with a 74mm flange diameter, 194mm overall length, 28mm pinion diameter, and M10x1.25 / 12 mounting holes needs to match the vehicle arrangement closely to avoid installation issues.

This unit is stated as suitable for Mitsubishi applications and the fitment groups supplied include Ford Capri, Ford Laser, Mazda 323, Mazda 323 Astina, Mazda 323 Protegé, Mazda B-Series, Mazda Bongo Brawny, Mazda E-Series, Mazda MX-5, Mazda T-Series and Mazda Titan. If the vehicle is one of these groups, the exact application still needs to be checked against the existing starter and the part number.

Because starter motors can vary within the same model range, the safest approach is to confirm the old starter’s tooth count, rotation, mount centres, flange diameter and pinion size before purchase. The fact that this unit is new, dry-clutch specific, and weighed at 2.8kg gives a useful comparison point when assessing replacement units.

Warranty coverage is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That does not replace fitment checking, but it does give a clear usage distinction to keep in mind when matching the part to the vehicle’s duty cycle.

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 MXS313 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 part number MXS313, 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 fitment by matching the MXS313 part number, 12V electrical setup, 8-tooth clockwise specification, and the physical mounting and dimension details to the existing starter before ordering.
