eight teeth on my two spares what starting problem have you got with it ?
i know a lot of people tend to change there starters from clicking and not engaging , i had these problems and i was getting the full 12v to the starter , i just pulled it apart cleaned the armature and linkages n and put a little slit in the side of the back of the solenoid so i could clean the terminal mating surfaces etc and then put them back to gether , and they go like new ,

cheers Jai

you can also use a vitara 1.6 efi starter for hi torque..

these can be found fairly easy and sometimes cheaper than a sierra unit..

they are better sealed than the sierra starter also.. :armsup:
