jahmaka if you spent 95 just for the contacts and plunger assembly then why not go ahead and get a complete starter ?? - several auto parts sell the remanufactured starter for less than 90 (minus core) and some even have a lifetime warranty -- i did ask if that included labor :D and of course...
ya know i need to follow up on a mistake though - the vent tubes on the starter - well the new starter came with two and i was wrong about an extra being in there - it was broke - it belongs at the rear of starter on top - the clip was broke during shipping i guess - well it had half the clip...
well MISSION COMPLETE -- and you dont have to go underneath to get that driver side bolt - just the right combination of swivel and socket and do it from drivers side so you can get a good pull --- all went well and dont waste money on the gasket either - i appreciate this post - did it in 4...

fellas dan must be on vacation or something - i have sent 2 emails and left messages for dan but have yet to hear from him - i sure would like to get this starter in before some kind of ugly snow ice storm hits - anyone suggest another salesman or another business ??
thanks dnp - i did just that - im awaiting an email repsonse and if no response i will call -- just for the sake of being prepared - guestimate a cost on a new oem toyota starter for me - yea im sitting down - tahnks
i am getting ready to replace the whole starter on my 2000 lc and this post is just great - i will use it no doubt - the question on the starter and if the contacts have been upgraded really interest me - i have no burning desire to go back into the engine just to change a starter -- anyone...
