Hi
KidV and
Wallytoo...
Interesting...
I have a basic manual transmission. Yes, bracket for clutch slave cylinder shares bottom mounting bolt, but nothing gets in the way.
Could you be referring to a truck with the upgraded dual-transfer case? maybe my truck is missing something there? LOL!

One could not really be sure whether or not the existing starter is stock after-market, or IF OEM whether it is he original 1.0 kW (discontinued) or newer 1.4kW (which I ended up purchasing). So, not sure
which solenoid contact to buy.
When I finally had the starter out here it is. it doesn't look nearly like the Denso one I got from Toyota Parts Zone, and it does not have Denso or Toyota label on it. Now I'm afraid it might not qualify for core refund. Oh well, the truck deserves good reliable parts, anyway. Good for another 200k miles, I hope - LOL!
Here's are the new and old side by side. Do you guys know if old one is Toyota/Denso from how it looks?
Also found the washer that lands on the contact pitted. I'm sure it can be polished/cleaned but IF it were too bad, it would have to be replaced. Couldn't find procedure for removing and replacing washer.
