Product Details

The Gates T235RB timing belt is part of the High Performance Automotive Timing Belt line, engineered for engines that operate under higher horsepower and higher temperature conditions. Its HSN elastomeric composite construction is selected for resistance to heat and wear, while the fiberglass cord material adds tensile strength for consistent timing control. This belt is a direct-fit timing belt application for 1993-1997 Toyota Corolla, 1994-1997 Toyota Celica, and 1993-1997 Geo Prizm models.

This part cross-references Dayco 95235 and Bando TB235 for the same application. The Gates T235RB part number is also referenced as T235 in related catalog listings.

Common Problems This Belt Can Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt causing inaccurate valve timing
• Cracking or heat damage on an aging belt
• Noise or irregular operation from a deteriorated belt profile
• Service replacement for high-mileage Toyota Corolla, Toyota Celica, or Geo Prizm timing systems
• Timing belt replacement during scheduled engine maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system layout before installation, since timing belt applications can vary by model year and engine configuration. Because this belt has no timing marks, align the engine timing components carefully during service and confirm all marks before startup. Replace related wear items and inspect pulleys, tensioners, and seals while the timing system is open.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures the RPM timing belt line for high-load, high-temperature engine service using HSN composite materials and fiberglass reinforcement. The T235RB is built to support precise timing control in performance-oriented applications such as Toyota Corolla, Toyota Celica, and Geo Prizm fitments.
