Before I bought mine, I called them and asked what PMGR meant. Permanent
Magnet Gear Reduction. I bought one but haven't installed it yet. There's no
brand marking on it.

Is this the Bosch starter? Bosch uses a planet gear in their gear  
reduction starters so it may not be immediately visible from the  
outside if it is a direct or gear drive starter.
