Good deal, .....the 555’s available on the bay are rpm’ed much like a Pittman, so, with the 555 you will surrender some top end speed, but no harm no foul IMO, .....the original motors are something silly like 12K rpm......the 555 will give you better starting performance too, ....ain’t nothing like a Pittman, that’s for sure, but it’s a way better choice than the wiper motor they used from the get-go.......that 550 is landfill material....
