Rebuilt Starter?
I believe my starter went out on me. I took it to a autozone store and tested it myself and it seems a little dry at 8 voltage. From the selonoid it seems dry. Is there any way to fix this? Cause it still works and all just takes a while to start the car up. I didn't want to pay 140 for a aftermarket starter at autozone. Oem is better...But if you can't rebuilt it, What motor would i get the starter off from? I'm running a sohc zc 1.6L single cam . Thanks.

Re: Rebuilt Starter? (DaMmniTz)
you can use any d-series starter (depending on the year of you motor) if you got an obd-0 you can pull a starter from 88-91 civics/crx's i hope that answerd your question

Re: Rebuilt Starter? (hatchinprogress)
the auto starters are different, so avoid them.
Autozone carries two brands of starters, they have a $60 one that works great.

Re: Rebuilt Starter? (vegaskurt)
What to you mean when you say it's "kinda dry"? And you say it *works*, but it just takes a long time. Do you mean you have to crank the car over for a long time before it catches and runs? If so, that's not your starter giving you trouble.
Depending on where you live, you can likely get your starter rebuilt locally for a whole lot less than buying a new/remanufactured one. I had mine go out on my '91 Accord; AutoZone wanted $171 for a reman. I got it professionally rebuilt locally for $70. Been working fine for three years now...

So just to clear things up 92-95 D-series starters are diff. then 88-91 D-series starters?

I know '90-'95 D-series starters are practically identical. I am using my '90 STD starter on my d16z6 engine. Works like a champ. I am 95% sure that any '90 to '00 D-series manual transmission starters are interchangeable. As far as '88-'89 go, there might be an issue because the flywheel is smaller in those years. I am not sure about those.

I think you'll be fine. As far as I know, the flywheels from '88 and '89 have the same OUTER dimensions as the '90 and '91s - it's the FRICTION SURFACE for the clutch disk, and possibly some of the dowels for mounting the pressure plate, that are different. I believe I used a '91 starter on my '89 D16A6 without any problems.

Well put, this is true, the dowels for mounthing the pressure plate are different.
That is why i ended up using my 89 Si clutch/flywheel instead of the B7 that came on the block. I just ended up choosing to go w/ the clutch and flywheel that came w/ the tranny.

Re: Rebuilt Starter? (DaMmniTz)
i went to pick n pull this morning and was looking for starters off 88-91 Civic/crx and integras. I unbolted a start from a 89 integra that on the outside looks the same but where the spindle spin, it has a half cut CONE on it? and my original one didn't. Would those fit? I didn't buy it yet.
Exactly What year of cars can i get it off of? Give me a few so i can look around. Stating one type of car and it's year isn't gonna help Junkyard doesn't have that much variety of honda. yup Thanks.

Re: Rebuilt Starter? (DaMmniTz)
would it matter if it had that half cone protecting the spindle that spins at the end?
Cause the d 15 and some d16 starters i took out ALL had that cone....
