FAQ
What is the difference between a mini-starter and a regular starter?
- A mini-starter, like the JEGS 555-10011, is smaller, lighter, and provides higher cranking speed compared to a regular starter, improving efficiency.
How do you tell if a starter is good or bad?
- Check for proper voltage, listen for a strong click, and ensure the starter motor engages smoothly – signs that the JEGS 10011 starter is in good condition.

Fits Chevy ZZ4 with TH350
Bought to replace the starter on my Chevy ZZ4 with TH350 trans. Bolts up easily with hardware and shims included. Cranks quickly and no issues, hopefully it has a long happy life.

Perfect for '96 firebird formula LT1
Direct fit to my 1996 firebird formula LT1 much smoother than the stock and turns over effortlessly first time everytime so far. Also my long tube headers caused zero issues with fitment or installation

Mighty Mouse!! ð small but packs a punch
Had issues with my starter not staying up close to the flex plate. Come to find out the torque was cracking the parts store starters and not to mention they’re way too heavy. This starter completely blew me away. I have a broken spot on the ear of the block on my small block 350. This thing is so light weight and easy to install and has plenty of torque to turn that motor over. Very impressed!!!! Saved me from replacing my whole block ð
