Besides carrying different part numbers, the Tip equipped cars had a higher output starter rated at 1.8kW while the manual cars were rated at 1.7kW. The Tip cars also carried a larger battery.

Good to know JFP. Is the Tip starter housing longer? What about the 996 starter?

I don't think there is a length difference, just its rating. I know the Tip units feel heavier, so it could be a difference in the internal windings.
