My starter went out on my 1997 civic and I figured I’d give this a shot since the price was half of local supply shops. Well after installing it and giving it a first crank I realized why the low price. The shaft on the starter tends to stick and doesn’t disingage properly. I ended up rebuilding the original starter and now I have a 10 pound scrap metal as a reminder of my poor purchase . Do your self a favor and buy a name brand or get the original rebuilt.
