4EAT starter


Recommended Posts

The starter's haven't changed significantly since 1981.

 

The old starter from my Brat got rebuilt and installed on a 97 Outback not long ago.

 

There are some BS differences in the gear-reduction vs. non gear reduction. It doesn't matter - they will all interchange and work just fine. 4EAT is no different than 3AT, 5 speed, etc.

 

There is no need to buy a new one. Replace the brushes and the solenoid contacts. If it still doesn't work, or especially if it only works intermittantly, the problem is the ignition switch and/or harness. Install a relay activated by the original solenoid wire that passes current directly from the battery to the solenoid terminal.
