The manual transmission starter is a coaxial (planetary) gear reduction design, not offset like the Chrysler and Nippondenso gear reduction starters (the difference is shown below). That's why the motor housing is directly in line with the starter drive axis, making the whole starter more "compact". Be sure and get a genuine starter with a Chrysler, Denso, or Nippondenso nameplate on it. The 2005+ Hemi starter does NOT work on a 440! Small block yes iirc but on a BB the solenoid hits the block! well that's something to know ! i was ready to pull the plug for two of those for my projects ! so it's still the dakota starter then, with TTI 2"/2 1/8" /3 1/2" collector headers ? Or you can do this (some fab work involved though): https://board.moparts.org/ubbthread...e-mini-starter-question.html#Post3101507 Last edited by DGS; 06/19/23 10:46 AM.
