OEX Starter Motor 12V 10 Tooth CW Mitsubishi Style MXS2044

The OEX Starter Motor MXS2044 is a new 12V starter motor in Mitsubishi style, with clockwise rotation and a 10 tooth pinion. It is listed with a 2 hole starter mount, M10x1.25 mount holes, and a 77mm flange diameter, so those physical details are worth checking carefully against the vehicle before ordering.

This unit has a power rating of 2.2kW and a pinion diameter of 32mm, with a 39mm nose cone length and 228mm overall length. The listed pinion at rest is 1.5mm, and the starter weighs 4.48kg, which gives a practical reference point when comparing it with the unit being removed.

OEX states its products are sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, and from ISO certified factories. The starter motor is backed by a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty, which is important context for buyers who want a new replacement rather than a remanufactured unit.

Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a starter motor, match the part number MXS2044 where possible, then compare the physical mounting details: 12V, 10 tooth, CW rotation, 2 hole mount, 105mm mount centres, and M10x1.25 mount holes. Those are the most useful checks for avoiding the wrong unit.

The dimensions matter just as much as the electrical specification. This starter is 228mm overall length, has a 39mm nose cone length, a 77mm flange diameter, and a 32mm pinion diameter. If the existing starter differs significantly in these areas, stop and confirm the application before fitting.

The note that 10 and 12 tooth units will interchange is useful, but it should still be checked against the vehicle’s exact application and the starter currently fitted. Use the make and model details provided for Mitsubishi, but do not rely on tooth count alone when confirming fitment.

Because this is a new unit rather than remanufactured, buyers should still inspect the ring gear condition, mounting face, and wiring connections before installation. A starter with the correct tooth count and rotation can still be unsuitable if the mount pattern, flange, or nose length does not line up with the original.

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 MXS2044 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 MXS2044, 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 MITSUBISHI CHALLENGER, MITSUBISHI CHALLENGER 2008, MITSUBISHI CHALLENGER 2009, MITSUBISHI CHALLENGER 2010. 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 part number MXS2044, the Mitsubishi application details, and the listed dimensions before ordering. Do not rely on vehicle make alone, and check the 10 tooth CW configuration, 2 hole mount, 105mm mount centres, and M10x1.25 mount holes against the original unit.
