Description
Part Description
This Grade A starter motor was removed from a 2006 Honda Civic equipped with a 1.8L engine and automatic transmission. Manufactured by Mitsuba, this OEM starter has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is currently on the shelf ready for immediate shipment. The part shows normal wear consistent with its mileage but maintains full functionality.
The starter motor is a critical component that engages the engine’s flywheel to begin the combustion process. Common starter failures include worn brushes, damaged solenoids, or gear wear that can cause clicking sounds, slow cranking, or complete failure to start. When your Honda Civic’s starter begins to fail, you’ll typically notice grinding noises during startup, intermittent starting issues, or the engine failing to turn over completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 2006 Honda Civic starter fit my 2008 Civic?
Yes, this starter is compatible with 2006-2011 Honda Civic models equipped with the 1.8L engine and automatic transmission. The interchange number 50107 confirms cross-compatibility across these model years.
What are the signs that my Honda Civic starter is failing?
Common symptoms include clicking sounds when turning the key, slow engine cranking, grinding noises during startup, or complete failure to turn over. You may also notice intermittent starting issues or dashboard lights dimming during start attempts.
Is this starter remanufactured or original equipment?
This is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) starter made by Mitsuba, not a remanufactured unit. It was removed from a donor vehicle and has been inspected for proper operation before being placed in our inventory.
How difficult is it to replace a Honda Civic starter?
Starter replacement on a 2006 Honda Civic requires moderate mechanical skill and proper tools. The starter is typically accessed from underneath the vehicle and requires disconnecting the battery, removing electrical connections, and unbolting the starter from the transmission bell housing.
What tools do I need to install this starter motor?
You’ll need basic hand tools including socket wrenches, combination wrenches, and possibly a ratcheting wrench set. Jack stands or a vehicle lift are required for safe access, and a multimeter is recommended for testing electrical connections.
Does this starter come with the solenoid attached?
Yes, this is a complete starter motor assembly that includes the integrated solenoid. The solenoid is built into the starter housing on Honda Civic models and engages the drive gear when you turn the ignition key.
