Hit up mrmazda7 on ebay, he often has them, I got mine from him. Look for n3z1 in the part number.

Is your car under warranty? if so Mazda should put one on for free.

First things first what year and and does the starter spin the engine slowly.
I just got my car back from the Dealer for the recall and they replaced my starter for free.
Told the service guy the engine was sluggish when starting and had a good battery, they checked the part number of the old starter and put in a upgraded one.

I checked some time ago about having 2004 starter changed on warranty or TSB and basically I would have to purposely flood it and go thru that procedure to get it swapped out. I don't want to do that, but I would love to have the newer one.

My car is not under warranty, it is an 04 made in I believe 7/03 and it cranks very slowly when it is cold. If it is at or below freezing it sounds like it is being cranked by hand.

My car has never flooded, just made a mention of it to service manager that I heard there was a upgraded starter and mine was weak feeling. Tech checked it out and immediately ordered a starter due to part number change and TSB.
