Gates 01+ Mitsubishi Eclipse / 99-00 Galant / 91-99 3000GT Timing Belt Tensioner

When you're tackling a timing belt job, you'll want to replace the tensioner along with the belt itself. This timing belt tensioner from Gates is what you get in the box: the tensioner unit. It's designed to keep the correct tension on your timing belt, which is crucial for keeping your engine's valves and pistons in sync. Without the right tension, the belt can slip or jump, leading to serious engine damage.

This tensioner is built to handle the demands of keeping your engine timed correctly. It's a well-built component that's a popular choice for many vehicles. For example, it fits a range of Mitsubishi models like the Eclipse, Galant, and 3000GT, as well as many Chrysler, Dodge, Hyundai, and Kia vehicles. Replacing the tensioner at the same time as the belt is a smart move, as it's often difficult to access once the new belt is installed.
