Product Overview
This starter motor replacement is developed for aftermarket starting system repair where the removed unit matches Lester 17825, OE Number 228000-9900, or related Toyota reference numbers such as 28100-28040 and 28100-28041.
Compared with lower-output starter applications, this model uses a 1.6kW starting output and a 13T drive configuration, which makes accurate specification matching especially important. Buyers should not select this starter motor by vehicle model alone. The original unit’s reference number, rotation direction, drive gear, flange size, and mounting structure should all be verified before ordering.
This product is an aftermarket replacement component. Referenced brand names, vehicle names, and part numbers are used only for identification, cross-reference, and compatibility checking.

Why the 13T Drive Matters
This model uses a 13-tooth drive gear, which is one of the most important details for starter motor replacement. A different tooth count may create incorrect engagement with the flywheel or ring gear, even if the starter motor appears similar in voltage, size, or vehicle application.
For distributors and repair channels, the 13T specification should be highlighted in catalog listings because it helps reduce wrong-model selection when customers compare similar Toyota, Lexus, and Scion starter applications.
Rotation and Mounting Confirmation
This starter motor is configured with CCW rotation and a 55mm flange diameter. Both specifications should be checked before purchase.
When replacing the original unit, buyers should compare:
For repair shops and parts distributors, requesting photos of the original starter motor is often the fastest way to confirm the correct replacement.
Application-Oriented Notes
For Toyota Camry and Solara Applications
This starter motor replacement is commonly associated with selected Toyota Camry and Toyota Solara applications from the early 2000s. Because these models may have different engine configurations, matching should be based on the original starter reference number rather than model name alone.
For Lexus ES300 Applications
For selected Lexus ES300 applications, buyers should confirm the removed unit’s reference number and mounting structure before ordering. This helps avoid confusion with visually similar starter motors used in nearby production years or engine variants.
For Scion tC and Toyota Highlander Applications
For selected Scion tC and Toyota Highlander applications, the 13T drive gear, 1.6kW output, and CCW rotation should be verified together. These details are more reliable than vehicle name alone for aftermarket replacement selection.
Wholesale and Catalog Value
This starter motor replacement can be useful for aftermarket programs that serve older Toyota-platform repair demand. It is suitable for:
Starter motor replacement inventory
Toyota-platform aftermarket parts catalogs
Repair shop supply programs
Importer and distributor sourcing
Regional auto parts wholesalers
Vehicle maintenance and service networks
Reference-number-based replacement matching
Because the product can be searched by Lester 17825, OE Number 228000-9900, 28100-28040, and 28100-28041, it can help capture buyers who search by catalog number, removed-unit label, or vehicle application.
