Starters for sj 1.6 conversion

Cyprus Geoff · Post by **Cyprus Geoff** » Sat Jan 25, 2014 6:19 am

Any updates Mr Twiss? Mine started playing up last night and nearly failed to start so time for action?

Is it worth trying to DIY refurb?

Edit/Update while trying to sort what I need to do to replace my rapidly ailing skinny starter, I came across a thread on difflock that explains (with pics) how to gently grind the block so you can use a fat starter.

Hope this helps someone - please feedback any results if you have a go.

UPDATE - I think I have refurbed mine successfully, tomorrow will tell but it sounds way better off the car.

In the meantime, a guy from another forum sent me this info and I wanted to post it here as it may help someone - I can't vouch for the info but here it is anyway:-

Probably too late and I hope you fixed the problem allready, but is an original skinny starter of an automatic gearbox vitara
I got it from EDS in Beilen holland they have them in stock
but i don't know if they send to the UK tho
you could give it a go maybe

Check there website for the phone number
and if you call ask for Rinus
he knows witch one you need Wink

Greetings Bram

I've tried to "clean" my starter as the solonoid has been clicking. I managed to get the starter apart. A nice little unit with a speed reduction gearbox built in. But could I open the solenoid? No chance.
I did manage to unfold the seam around the plastic end cap, but I couldn't unsolder the two wire that come out of it. The solder wouldn't melt! Even with a calor gas stove!

Found another on eBay, bought that. Then tidying up the following day, and found a spare

No idea where it has come from

One thing I forgot to ask, is what vehicle "should" the skinny starter be fitted to?

EDIT:- OK I think it was a Vitara Automatic

My friend had the skinny starter fitted to his japanese sj413... not entirely sure where it came from originally though as they were made in france!

Hi Twiss, well I found a skinny one at a scrappies and it was on a manual SWB Vit and it is a Mitsi one so bang goes my Vit Auto theory!

Thread from the dead but seems the most sensible place to put this,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281474995769? ... EBIDX%3AIT

they say its the slimmer version but the Mitsi Part number doesnt match page one of this thread. Anyone shed some light on this? Its £10 plus postage cheaper than the auto spares place mentioned in the first post thats all!

Just bought this on ebay
What do I need to do to get this to fit my Sammie, with 1.6 Conversion?

It doesn't fit.

Even after lots of cutting and put an old 9 tooth gear on.
Etc etc the D6RA62 does not fit my Sammie 1.3 gearbox, 1.6 Vit Engine.
