Gates Engine Timing Belt P/N:T266

Description

Searching for a Gates carbon drive belt to keep your engine's valves and pistons in sync? The Gates Engine Timing Belt T266 drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 Mazda Protege, synchronizing crankshaft and camshaft rotation so the valves open and close in time with the pistons. As a leading global manufacturer of OE timing belts, Gates builds its aftermarket belts to meet or exceed OE standards of fit, function and performance, with resistance to heat, wear and contamination.

PTFE-infused jackets: reduce frictional losses and tooth shear.
High-grade HNBR rubber: superior heat and contamination resistance.
Premium tensile members: provide maximum strength.
Aramid-reinforced nylon jackets and backsides: increase durability and lifetime.

The Gates warranty matches the original manufacturer's timing belt replacement intervals — covering not just parts but labor and other associated costs. Because a worn belt can slip, crack, or shed teeth, replacing it at the recommended interval is critical; if a worn belt is the cause of hard starting, a misfire, or a timing-related no-start, this replaces it and restores the correct crank-to-cam synchronization. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine for your Protege.
