- Just curious....I believe my 59 TR3 has the original starter. Can someone tell me, in non-mechanic speak, the difference between, and advantage of, a gear reduction starter over stock? thanks, Joe

- Randall summed it up... except to note that you can probably get a nice % of the cost of the gear reduction unit back when you put your old starter on eBay. OTOH -- for some those old starters are ju

- Many years ago (in the late '70's) the starter in my '59 TR3 quit. I took it to a local starter/generator rebuild shop in town who rebuilt it for an inexpensive, very good price. Because their only

- I second this suggestion. The repairman at the shop I use recognized my starter as a Triumph part from 15 feet away as I walked in the door. Ed Purcell

- Absolute agreement. Far and away the best value for these items is local rebuilders. I have had nothing but disappointment buying rebuilts or even new starters/alternators for my TR-6 and my XJ-6 wit

- Does anyone know if there is a usable replacement for a Vintage Lucas #25541E starter motor. Triumph used these in the 1950's on TR-2's and 3's. Thanks. -MF

- You might be pleasantly surprised if you try a knowledgeable import car parts place. 3 or 4 years ago, I went in to my local Beck-Arnley reseller and was able to get a rebuilt starter for my Dad's '5

- The flywheel is definitely an issue, unless by some chance your car has the earlier flywheel already. The later ring gear (on the flywheel) is slightly smaller in diameter, so the early starter will
