Self supporting so no need for the bushing in the bell housing. The permanent magnet motor and the gear reduction require much less current to get the job done so eve with the earlier battery cables the engine will turn over. Solenoid/gear engagement also much better. No need for add on failure items such as relays etc. All new parts. Many of the rebuilds just not right. Tired of doing them again especially on Syncros. Just get the better unit. > >Dennis > Sure, if you like roulette. ;) A lot of money for a one-time starter that has a high failure history. The TDI starter + adaptor is a far better solution in all ways. Karl |
