DENSO 280-5318 First Time Fit Remanufactured Starter Motor

The DENSO 280-5318 First Time Fit® Remanufactured Starter Motor is engineered to deliver factory-original performance backed by decades of OE manufacturing expertise. DENSO's gear-reduction starter design has long been an industry benchmark — so rugged and reliable that it is frequently adapted for motorsport and racing applications.

Every DENSO remanufactured starter undergoes a rigorous inspection, testing, and component replacement process that consistently produces some of the lowest return rates in the replacement aftermarket. Armatures and field coils are high-voltage tested, commutators are refinished and performance-validated, and all terminals and fasteners are replaced with premium copper components to ensure clean, consistent electrical flow.

Key Features:

• High-voltage tested armature and field coils for verified electrical reliability
• Refinished and performance-validated commutator for consistent power transfer
• Premium copper terminals and fasteners for a clean, low-resistance electrical connection
• All-new bearings, brushes, and seals included
• Bench-tested to factory specifications before leaving the facility
• Meets or exceeds OEM standards for proper fit and mounting

Performance Benefits:

• Maximum cranking torque under all operating conditions
• Compact, lightweight gear-reduction design — class leaders in size and weight
• Engineered to start reliably in both extreme cold and hot weather conditions

Choosing a remanufactured starter is also an environmentally responsible decision — valuable components and raw materials are recycled and returned to service rather than discarded. The DENSO First Time Fit® program ensures proper fit with minimal installation issues, making this an ideal replacement starter for professional installers and DIY mechanics alike.
