TAKPART Starter Solenoid Repair Rebuild Kit 053660-7120 for Denso Toyota Subaru

So let me “start” lol by saying this is the best value I’ve found for my vintage 97 Toyota Corolla with 61,000 original miles. I bought two of the same kits from two vendors. This kit was one and the other was from the other company. This kit came with everything for less than the other guys kit. The starter rebuild kit from the other guys only had the plunger and contacts. These guys had that plus cover gasket, new nuts and bolts, o-rings and washers. If asked which I’d chose, I’d say this one, hands down!! So in case you’re wondering which one to chose. Pick this one. No I’m not paid by these guys, but I find great value in their products and figured I’d make your finding good cheap parts easy by telling you my experience.

The contacts in this kit did not fit my 4runner starter correctly. While the plunger was a direct match, the main contact was off so bad I couldn't use it, making the kit virtually pointless. I had to utilize the smaller contact and just replace one instead of both in order to get the vehicle going.

Possible user error but the pieces were not the same as what was on my Kubota L2350. The plunger was taller and could never make contact. When I replaced it with the old plunger I could here it click once but further attempts to start were dead. Bought an entire starter assembly on Amazon for $119 and will install later.

I noticed the copper piece to the left of the solenoid in the picture is different from what I think I need based on the install videos on line. I have not installed it yet, but I am hoping it is close enough. Make sure the contacts are flush to the back of the case. For my Toyota, I need to remove the starter through the wheel well.

Bought for a 2002 Toyota Tacoma v6 starter. The gasket did not fit, so we re-used the old one which was intact. These contacts were different sized than the originals but the plunger was the correct length and it works great!
