Parts Player Starter for Ford/Lincoln/Mercury 5.0L & 5.8L (CW 10-Tooth) 12V 1.4 kW PMGR

This is a new OEG Parts clockwise (CW) 12V starter, 1.4 kW, 10-tooth drive designed to replace factory starters on many Ford, Lincoln and Mercury 5.0L and 5.8L engines.

This replacement starter is built to match original equipment fit and function for a long list of legacy Ford-family applications — from F-150 trucks to Mustang V6 and several Lincoln/Mercury models. It offers the smaller PMGR form factor that improves header clearance and helps reduce hot-start sensitivity compared with larger conventional starters. Use the included part-number cross-references to confirm compatibility with your vehicle before ordering.

How do I know this starter fits my vehicle?

Check the listed replacement part numbers and your vehicle’s OEM starter code. The product lists many cross-reference numbers used by Ford and aftermarket suppliers; matching one of those to your original starter is the most reliable confirmation. Also verify engine size, model year range, rotation and tooth count.

• Compatible engines: 5.0L (302), 5.8L (351), select 3.8L and 4.9L applications
• Model years: common F-150 and Mustang ranges in 1992–2004 (see details)
• Rotation: clockwise (CW); Tooth count: 10
• Voltage and power: 12V, 1.4 kW

What are the key mechanical and electrical specs?

This starter is a 12-volt permanent magnet gear reduction (PMGR) unit with a 10-tooth pinion and clockwise rotation. The compact 1.4 kW gear-reduction design delivers higher torque for its size, while the PMGR package reduces overall length versus conventional starters. There is no mounting hardware included, so reuse your vehicle’s bolts or purchase OE-style fasteners if needed.

• Condition: new; Country of origin: CN
• Power: 1.4 kW; Voltage: 12V
• Rotation: CW; Pinion teeth: 10
• Mounting hardware: not included

Why choose this PMGR starter over a larger unit?

The smaller PMGR housing gives better clearance around exhaust headers and tight engine compartments, which is important on modified or factory-packed V8 installations. Its gear reduction mechanism multiplies starter torque, helping to engage the flywheel consistently while maintaining a compact footprint. Many owners prefer PMGR starters to reduce heat soak issues during hot restarts.

• Smaller housing improves header and clearance space
• Gear reduction increases torque for reliable engagement
• Compact unit can reduce hot-start sensitivity versus larger starters

Who is this for: This replacement starter is intended for mechanics, DIYers and restoration enthusiasts working on older Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles that use the specified 10-tooth, clockwise starter — especially when original part numbers match the cross-reference list. It's a practical choice when you need an OE-compatible PMGR starter to restore starting performance, preserve factory fitment and avoid clearance issues with headers or tight engine bays. Always verify fitment with your vehicle’s VIN, engine code or by comparing original starter part numbers before installation.
