I know that Toyota sells a starter rebuild kit, and I believe it includes a new set of brushes. In addition, I'm pretty sure that the kit is very affordable.

Regarding the continual-cranking problem, there's a separate circuit that triggers the starter. To be honest, I've never heard of this exact problem before on an Mkiv Supra TT, but I believe the TSRM has a set of diagnostic steps to troubleshoot this symptom.

Of course, I'd also welcome the input of any other forum member that has experience with this type of issue...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
