'Nuther electrical problem here.

 

I replaced the starter on my '93 Legacy about 2 years ago. The garage used a "reman" mongrel brand starter for the job. During the past few weeks I have been seeing similar behavior to that seen as my original starter was failing; not spinning with first few key turns although the solenoid "click" can be heard.

 

This seems like a very short lifespan for a starter. Does anyone here have brand recommendations? The car has 121k miles on it and runs perfect. I hope to keep it a while longer.

 

Thanks in advance.

the solenoid contacts. It is pretty quick and easy so I hear.

yup.....there's some threads regarding the contacts. You might want to do a search.

 

You can see pics of the solenoids and plunger from my swap pics
