Gates TCK289 Engine Timing Belt Component Kit

Gates PowerGrip Timing Kit for Mirage

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit TCK289 is built for timing belt service on select Mitsubishi Mirage applications.

Product Details

Gates TCK289 is part of the PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit line, which is designed to support complete timing system replacement with OE-equivalent or better service life, quality, and performance. Gates supplies timing belts and timing component kits across a wide range of vehicle applications, and this kit is configured for Mitsubishi Mirage timing service where the engine uses an interference design. This part cross-references Continental TB289K1 for the same application.

What This Kit Helps Address

• Worn or aging timing belt service intervals
• Noise or irregular operation from a fatigued tensioner
• Timing system maintenance on interference-engine Mirage applications
• Parts mismatch during timing belt replacement jobs
• Incomplete timing service when the belt and tensioner are replaced separately

Installation Notes and Tips

Use the included instructions during installation and verify engine timing before starting the vehicle. Because this kit does not include timing marks, careful alignment of the crankshaft and camshaft timing components is required. Confirm the vehicle is a 1997-1998 Mitsubishi Mirage or a 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage built for Nov. 1998 and older before ordering TCK289.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures timing belts and timing component kits as an OEM supplier to vehicle manufacturers worldwide. The PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit line is engineered to meet OE-equivalent expectations for service life, quality, and performance in timing belt replacement service.
