The new starter in my 617 was a night and day difference. They both had the chance to run off of a brand new batter that was bought a week before the swap and it was amazing what a difference a new starter makes. To me, it was well worth the $96 I paid to have it installed.

I had the chance to hear a new starter on a 617 today, mine is for sure on its way out. It turns but it's just weak as can be.

Have fun changing it!
Whoever put the starter their was either an idiot or being fired. "Heinz you are fired, design the starter on the 617, then pack up your stuff"

actually
since the starters last an average of ___________miles. i have had cars with over 250k on them with the original starters (as far as i know). what can you complain about? i bet most premature failures are from people grindng away when it obviously isnt going to start.
if you keep your car tuned you bout cant wear them out. one of the reasons they are a pita to change is the extra brace on the front end. but of course that brace makes them last a lot longer as it prevents flex around the business end. not picking on you. the po prob did it in. tom w

It's always sounded in this manner.
That's one big plus about the 603 is the starter location, it's like BMWs old I6. Readily available to remove. I do have some EGR less manifolds and a KKK turbo to install so the starter will probably be done at the same time as well as a blockheater.
