Gates 91-96 Dodge Stealth / 91-99 Mitsubishi 3000GT Timing Belt Component Kit w/ Water Pump

The Gates TCKWP195A kit is built around a reinforced timing belt, featuring a heat-resistant EPDM rubber construction that stands up to high engine temperatures. This is crucial because the timing belt is responsible for keeping your engine's valves and pistons in perfect sync. When it's time to replace this critical component, it's often best to address other parts in the timing system at the same time, especially the water pump, which is driven by the same belt and shares many of the same labor costs to access. This kit bundles everything together, saving you time and ensuring compatibility between the parts.

Inside this comprehensive kit, you'll find not only the reinforced timing belt but also a new water pump, tensioner, and idler pulleys. The tensioner is designed to maintain the correct belt tension throughout its service life, preventing slippage or excessive wear. The idler pulleys guide the belt smoothly, reducing friction and ensuring consistent operation. Replacing these components together helps prevent premature failure of the new belt due to a worn-out tensioner or pulley bearing. This kit is specifically designed to fit your 1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT, 1991-1996 Dodge Stealth, and 1992-1995 Mitsubishi Diamante, ensuring a direct fit and proper function for these V6 engines.

Performing a complete timing belt service, including the water pump, is a significant maintenance task. It's recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual for the specific procedures and torque specifications. Having all the necessary components in one box from a well-known brand like Gates simplifies the process and gives you peace of mind that you're using parts designed to work together. This kit addresses the core components of your engine's timing system, helping to ensure reliable performance and prevent catastrophic engine damage that can occur if the timing belt fails.
