Starter, two hole mount vs three hole mount - interchangeable?
My starter has quit engaging, mostly spins. I have already removed it and it is a two bolt style.
I am going to try my local rebuilder first monday, but is the two hole mount and three hole mount style starters fit interchangeable?
Do i need to stay with the two bolt if the rebuilder cannot help me?
Advance has new starters, not rebuilt, for around $200 plus 20% off if purchased online.

I have an '01 engine in my '00. I used the same starter in both engines and it is a 3 hole, but I only used 2 bolts (it was that way when I got it). I don't see why it would not work either way.

Looks like the rebuilder has gone out of business, so-----.

99402 from Advance is the one i am looking to buy.
Rockauto also has it. Second from top. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1372542,parttype,4152
Same warranty and Advance is local and therefore quicker (their online special makes it the best deal).
Advance is out of the two hole mount style, so this 100% new Remy 99402 three hole mount style is the planned purchase. Limited lifetime warranty.

I decided to do another ride by of the rebuilder on my way to Advance, he is still in business, just opens a little later than he used to. His is a small, two man shop. I talked with him briefly and left my starter.

This is a comment i made to another post. Did copy paste here.
My starter failed Christmas day. It is at my local rebuilders shop being repaired. It is a two bolt OSGR starter.
I almost purchased the three bolt Remy 99402 from Advance because it looks like a direct drive (which i like and prefer). They're running a 20% off online special.

Any thoughts to share?

I have always had good luck with my local guy. Any problems and I talk directly with the guy that rebuilt it. So far I have had nothing to take back. Got to be better than some china rebuilder that never has any contact with the product after it leaves the country.

That Remy starter you considered buying has ALL the hallmarks of the Mitsubishi design. It could very-well be manufactured in China by Remy China.
Again, that design is not direct-drive, but a planetary gear-reduction design.
And, again, that $61 was well-spent!
