I finally found a used 28100-62030 starter on Craigslist, so I snagged it to see if it would work on a manual transmission (from what I can tell the 1.8kW starter was only available on automatic versions of the 5VZ). There is a significant size difference between it and the 28100-62050 that I had in there, hopefully that equates to a higher cold cranking speed.
Installation was fairly quick and easy:
While I was underneath the Cruiser I noticed that one of the LH motor mount bracket bolts was missing, and the other had backed part way out. I tightened the remaining one and made a gentle drive to the nearest hardware store to get a new M10x1.50x25 bolt and lock washer. It looks like I didn't have lock washers on either one to begin with, so I'll need to pull the other out and add a lock washer to it to prevent this happening again.
