Starter motor OEM Honda or Duralast

Starter mine did the same thing, replaced starter and moved flywheel one bolt according to tsb from honda.

My original starter lasted 9 years / 215k miles on the dot. I ended up finding a brand new OEM Honda starter on eBay for $238 shipped.

I would recommend a Honda genuine remanufactured starter. 3year/36k mile warranty and it's a genuine Honda part so it will work.

No need to go OEM on part. Plenty of good refurbs out there. Think I picked up a Duralast at Autozone for $190.

My last CRV lasted 17 years and 197,000 miles on basic maintenance alone - oil, tires, brakes, and a starter.

I too have a 87 wagon. However, my experience with Duralast starters was with my 2005 Subaru. Was recently in jam and needed quick replacement then. The duralast was essentially a remanufactured part and seemed ok quality. Has been almost two months since installation and no problems at all.

My 2015 EX has had 2 starter replacements since new... If the electrics work, aka the blower, exterior lights, power windows, audio and internal lights are working OK, but the engine only clicks and will not turn over, its probably the starter.

I just had a similar issue with my 2015. I changed the starter with a duralast part from autozone, still didn't work. Ended up biting the bullet and taking the car to Ford. They explained to me that a genuine ford part was needed as the starter is part of the security system.

my 2015 Fit EX seems to be having the same problem on about the same timeline. Got the starter replaced maybe 4-6 years ago (also, starter replaced on a 3-4 year old car? Sheesh) and just this morning, lots of clicking and dash lights come on but no engine turnover.

Guy at work has installed and replaced two Duralast starters in his truck since 2020, and the 3rd one is starting to have issues.
