Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

The best kit I've ever used!

Made in Japan Time All pulleys are clearly marked 'Koyo' and 'Japan'. Detailed central bank and detailed installation instructions as well as a special tool for manual transmissions. Ideal. Thoroughly impressed.

Pros
  • Fantastic
Cons
  • Very Expensive

I am disappointed in Gates

This kit contains parts that ARE NOT MADE IN JAPAN. As you would expect, Gates parts are of the highest quality. I am now returning the parts and will look for a suitable replacement kit. When I pay the premium price of over $280 for a timing belt kit that doesn't even include a water pump. I assume all parts are made in Japan. I'm disappointed in Gates.

Pros
  • handsfree
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

Let's hope Gates got the Chinese out of his system

I was very hesitant to order this kit for my Legacy GT after reading all the horror stories about the failures of crappy Chinese bums. When I opened the box and saw "Taide" or "Made in China" it came back. I was very pleased to see that the kit I received consisted of all components sourced from Japan from OE including the belt. Koyo, NTN, NSK and GMB idlers. Direction and time are clearly marked on the belt. It will be on the car tomorrow so I'll update the review after it's installed.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Used this kit with an OEM water pump, never had any problems, driven approx 1500 miles, all components ok Good quality and high-quality felt ensure that no oil gets on the belt during installation, otherwise the blue paint will peel off

Pros
  • Popular kits for domestic and imported (European and Asian) cars
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Let's hope Gates gets rid of the Chinese

I was very hesitant to order this kit for my Legacy GT after reading all the horror stories about shitty Chinese sloths failing. When I opened the box and saw "Taide" or "Made in China" it came back. I was very pleased to see that the kit I received consisted of all components sourced from Japan from OE manufacturers including the belt. Koyo, NTN, NSK and GMB idlers. Direction and time are clearly marked on the belt. It will be on the car tomorrow so I'll update the review after it's installed.

Pros
  • A complete solution for any application: TCK includes belts, idlers, tensioners, tension springs, accessories, detailed installation instructions and technical service bulletins for problematic applications
Cons
  • Much
