Product Details

Gates PowerGrip timing belt tensioners are designed and tested to match OE-quality or OE-exact fit and performance. The T41212 helps maintain optimal timing belt tension on Mitsubishi Lancer and Mitsubishi Mirage engines, reducing the need for a separate tensioning operation during installation. This timing belt tensioner is a direct-fit engine timing component for 2002-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer and 1997-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage applications.

This part cross-references Dayco 84095 and GMB 448-9550 for the same application. Gates T41212 is a practical choice when replacing a worn or noisy timing belt tensioner during scheduled engine service.

What It Helps Address

• Timing belt slack or inconsistent belt tension
• Noise from a worn tensioner assembly
• Premature timing belt wear from improper loading
• Service issues on interference-engine timing systems
• Fitment concerns during Mitsubishi timing belt replacement

Installation Notes

Verify engine code and timing component alignment before installation. Replace the tensioner as part of a complete timing belt service when the belt system shows wear, contamination, or age-related fatigue. Confirm the application against your vehicle’s engine configuration before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Gates PowerGrip timing tensioners are engineered and tested to OE-quality standards for fit, function, and belt life support. The T41212 is built to deliver dependable timing system performance in the specified Mitsubishi Lancer and Mirage applications.
