89 RC, 318, auto. how can i tell if i have a nippondenso starter? the haynes manual isnt really clear on the subject. also, can the DIYer rebuild a starter, or is it best to let a pro do it?

I believe that the nippo starters a bit smaller than the standard starters.

the nipp starter is small and silver in color. not gonna use it on the 95 engine it came with though. i prefer the sound of the old style.

under 10 minutes to rebuild it and a child could do it

The Nippondenso starter will have a sticker on it that says "Nippondenso".

I believe that all the starters used from 87 up are Nippondenso made. Much like the alternators, Chrysler stopped making them in house in favor of the Nippos. Cheaper and better.

Even the Mopar Performance starter is a Nippondenso.
