Product Details

Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt line is engineered for replacement service where accurate timing and consistent belt geometry matter. Gates is a global OE timing belt manufacturer, and this belt reflects that background with aftermarket construction aimed at matching OE fit, function, and performance. The T241 is a direct-fit timing belt for 1994-1995 Geo Metro, 1994-1995 Pontiac Firefly, and 1993 Geo Metro with 5-bolt sprocket mounting.

This part cross-references Dayco 95241 and Bando TB241 for the same application. The Gates T241 is a practical choice for drivers and technicians servicing compact import engines that require a precise timing belt replacement.

What This Timing Belt Helps Address

• Engine timing drift caused by a worn or stretched belt
• Noise from a deteriorated timing belt profile
• Loss of synchronization between crankshaft and camshaft timing
• Wear from heat, contamination, and normal service aging
• Fitment issues when replacing an OE-style belt on listed Geo Metro and Pontiac Firefly models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration before installation, especially on the 1993 Geo Metro with 5-bolt sprocket mounting. Replace the belt according to the vehicle service procedure, and inspect related timing components, belt routing, and sprockets for wear before reassembly. Because this belt has no timing marks, follow the factory timing reference points during installation.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures OE timing belts and applies that experience to aftermarket replacement parts. The T241 is built to meet or exceed OE standards for fit, function, and performance in the listed applications.
