Our take on the BBabe Starter Motor

The BBabe Starter Motor is a direct-replacement 12-volt starter for the Mazda 6 with the 2.3L four-cylinder (2003-2008) and 2.5L four-cylinder (2009-2010). It uses a permanent magnet gear reduction design rated at 1.4 kW, with a clockwise 11-tooth pinion and a compact body that draws less on the battery and charging system. It bolts on with common hand tools, so it suits a DIY owner replacing a failed or slow-cranking starter. Against OEM and premium remanufactured starters it is a basic aftermarket part: fewer fitment options and no long track record, but the same PMGR layout and cranking rating.
