A few weeks ago we had the Continental tech rep at our shop and he told us it was a bad thing to put on one of these starters.
Reason was that they don't provide enough resistance to allow the spring clutch to release. Newer starter drives might last 2 to 3 starts before things go really bad. And though the current draw is lower, the initial current draw is greater and in some instances will fuse the contacts in your starter relay.
