Introduce:
Lester 17173 is a premium Mitsubishi offset gear reduction starter engineered for Mazda B2600 trucks (1989–1993) and Mazda MPV 2.6L automatic vans (1989–1994). As the official factory replacement for the discontinued Mitsubishi M1T50471, this 12V, 1.4KW starter delivers reliable, consistent cranking performance and outstanding cross-brand compatibility for auto repair shops, distributors and aftermarket retailers.
1. Direct Aftermarket Replacement for Obsolete Mitsubishi OE Unit
This aftermarket starter is precisely engineered to match all dimensional and functional specs of the discontinued Mitsubishi M1T50471 (M2T50981). It serves as a reliable long-term stocking alternative when genuine Mitsubishi factory units are no longer available, eliminating supply shortages for Mazda AT vehicle repairs.
2. Vehicle-Specific Design for Flawless Bolt-On Fit (Automatic Transmission Only)
Exclusively calibrated for Mazda B2600 & MPV 2.6L automatic transmission models. Distinct from the manual-transmission counterpart 17172, it features a custom 12-tooth drive pinion, offset mounting hole layout and adjusted solenoid position. No cutting, drilling or modification is needed for direct installation.
3. Heavy-Duty Offset Gear Reduction Design for Stable Cold Starts
Built with a robust offset gear reduction system, 1.4KW rated power and clockwise rotation. It generates powerful torque for smooth ignition in low-temperature environments and maintains consistent performance under sustained high-heat engine conditions, outperforming cheap generic aftermarket starters in service lifespan.
4. 3-Hole Flange Mount Structure for Vibration Reduction
Comes with a standard 3-hole flange mounting base manufactured to original equipment dimensions. Secure mounting minimizes operational vibration, avoids abnormal gear wear between pinion and flywheel, and prevents premature starter breakdowns.
5. Massive Cross-Brand Interchange Compatibility to Simplify Inventory
Matches over 50 mainstream OE and aftermarket part numbers, including Mazda original OE codes, WAI, Bosch, Delphi, ACE, Lucas and ARC cross references. Consolidate dozens of separate SKUs into one single aftermarket part to reduce warehouse stocking pressure and order management workload.
6. Full Line of Matching Rebuild Spare Parts Available
Complete supporting replacement components are supplied separately, including armature, sealed ball bearings, brush holder assembly, carbon brushes, drive clutch, pinion gear and solenoid switch. Repair garages can carry out partial rebuilds instead of full starter replacement to boost service profit margins.
7. OE-Equivalent Premium Aftermarket Construction to Cut After-Sales Returns
All internal components adopt wear-resistant aftermarket premium materials: long-life carbon brushes, heat-resistant solenoid switches and durable drive assemblies. Strict production quality control reduces failure rates and customer comebacks for your auto parts business.
