Improvements

Remy announces an innovative improvement to the starter motor for the Ford Transit 2000-2007 (part no. DRS3797).

Remy’s engineering team has added a soft rubber protective cap to the starter motor in order to prevent clutch dust ingress from contaminating the shaft. This has been known to result in catastrophic failure of the starter motor’s pinion/clutch assembly.

Historically, some mechanics have opted to replace the Transit starter with the cheapest available option under the assumption that clutch dust contamination will cause part failure regardless of quality. With the introduction of this rubber cap, coupled with Remy’s superior build quality, installers can now enjoy peace of mind in knowing that they are fitting a reliable, hard wearing and long lasting part.

Other applications include:

  • Ford Mondeo III Estate/Saloon
  • Jaguar X Type Estate/Saloon
  • London Taxi (LTI) TX Hatchback
  • Leyland DAF 2.4d

With over 100 years’ experience in OE manufacturing, Remy’s engineering expertise allows them to re-engineer and improve on unit designs to their aftermarket ranges. Catalogued on MAM Autocat and the F:Drive, Remy starter motors are available via same/next-day delivery. For more information, please speak to your local FPS representative.
