Why customers choose NorthTrail Auto

A-Premium's 12V 1.2KW starter motor is a direct-fit replacement with 9 teeth and clockwise rotation designed for select Honda and Acura automatic-transmission models. This starter motor is built to match factory fit and function for late-1990s to mid-2000s Honda Civic and Acura EL models that use a 12V electrical system and automatic transmission. It arrives boxed with one unit and carries multiple OE reference numbers to help ensure compatibility with your vehicle. A-Premium also backs this part with a one-year unlimited-mileage warranty for added confidence at installation.

Will this starter motor fit my Honda or Acura?

If your vehicle is an Acura EL 1998–2005 (1.6L/1.7L) or a Honda Civic 1998–2005 (1.6L/1.7L) with an automatic transmission, this unit is engineered to be a compatible replacement. Cross-referencing the provided reference numbers against your original part will confirm fitment.

  • Fits Acura EL 1998–2000 L4 1.6L and 2001–2005 L4 1.7L (automatic)
  • Fits Honda Civic 1998–2000 L4 1.6L and 2001–2005 L4 1.7L (automatic)
  • Reference numbers included for verification: 31200-P2E-A51, 31200-PLM-A51, 17741N, and others
  • Intended as a direct-replacement unit—confirm teeth, rotation, and mounting points

What are the technical specs I need to know?

This starter delivers 1.2 kilowatts of power at 12 volts and uses a nine-tooth pinion with clockwise rotation. Those details determine engagement with the flywheel and electrical compatibility with your vehicle.

  • Power rating: 1.2KW
  • Voltage: 12V
  • Pinion teeth: 9
  • Rotation direction: Clockwise (CW)

What comes in the box and how is it supported?

The product ships in protective packaging and contains one starter motor ready for installation. A-Premium supports this part with a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee to cover manufacturing defects and to offer buyers extra reassurance.

  • Package includes: 1x starter motor in a protective cardboard box
  • Warranty: one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee from A-Premium
  • Labeling: multiple OEM reference numbers printed for easier cross-checking
  • Installation tip: inspect electrical connectors and flywheel teeth for wear before fitting

How should I verify compatibility before purchase?

Compare your old starter’s specifications and OE reference numbers to this unit to ensure a correct match. If the pinion teeth count, rotation direction, or voltage differs, the part will not engage or function properly.

  • Match reference numbers such as 31200-P2E-A51 or 17741N
  • Confirm 9-tooth pinion and clockwise rotation on the original starter
  • Verify your vehicle’s engine size and automatic transmission requirement
  • Consult a trusted mechanic for fitment questions or visual checks
Who is this for? This A-Premium starter motor is intended for owners and mechanics seeking a dependable, direct-replacement starter for older Honda Civic and Acura EL models with automatic transmissions. It’s a practical choice when the original starter shows signs of wear, won’t engage, or if you need a part that lists common OEM reference numbers for easier identification. Buyers who want a boxed unit backed by a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee will find this product a straightforward, value-oriented option.
