IMI Performance 101N 1.9HP 12V High Torque Starter Bug, 002 Bus, Mendeola For 12V Flywheel

This is HiTorque's 101N large N series motor self supporting gear reduction starter. HiTorque does offer the 101 with three different size motors depending on your needs. See below picture for reference. This starter is self supporting. In a VW transmission you don't need to run the bronze support bushing that normally holds the other side of the starter.

Note: On some VW type 2 six rib bus 091 transaxles, some builders will put the shorter 002 style bell housing and input shaft on it, which allows you to use this starter. If your 091 transaxle has the stock bell housing and input shaft, then you'll use the longer 104 series starters.


One benefit to the N series HiTorque starters, is that they have a 2" on center solenoid cap. This allows you to purchase a push button style "emergency" solenoid cap. If you've ever been in the desert and had your starter/ignition switch fail, a push button cap allows you to push the solenoid towards the flywheel to crank over the engine. The starter does not include this button cover. You'll have to purchase that separately.
