primera starter motor

May 08, 2004 1 Replies

I seem to remember seeing in this group problems with primera starter motors. Not thinking anything of it at the time, I now have this problem. I have a 1993 nissan primera SLX (69k miles). Ocassionally, when I try to start, something just spins and that's about it. After a few goes, however, it turns over. As I am expecting this problem to go worse, is it usually the motor that goes or is it the starting ring. Is the motor easy to fit? I'm ok - ish on maintenance. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks glenn


I guess you've had it done by now?

On mine it was the bendix gear on the starter, the flywheel was still perfect. (yes, I do know it's pre-engaged; apparently it has both)

I had a garage do it, I was short on time, so I can't tell you how easy it is.
