Its 550 in parts or so and another few hundred in labor. Expect to pay 8-1000 bucks for someone to do it.



Timing belt, tensioners, pullys, balance shaft belt, water pump, etc etc etc.

$99.00 shipped? Are they made from recycled pop bottles? Doesn't seem legit. I say buy OEM Mitsu.

Yeah, get the parts and do it yourself. Just follow the directions.

You can get a cd service manual off of ebay if anything.

I'm on my 4th belt right now!!

no one ever answered my question about what the service manual said about this change...
i was just looking over the service manual and noticed a note stating that at the
60k mark: For California, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine, this maintenance is recommended but not required to maintain the emissions warranty.
At 105k: This maintenance is not required if previously replaced.
So what does this mean for the rest of us that arent in these states? Is it required or not at 60k...i know its recommended but why is there a note saying to do it at 105k?
i know this isnt an answer to the OP'er but i believe it falls into the same lines of saving money and having more time to prepare for an expense of a required maintenance action.

I think that that is just a legal statement for lemon law in those respective states. Due to the fact that the car had a 100,000 mile warranty to the initial owner. It then gets dropped to 60K to the second owner. This way your laywer can say you didn't have to change the belt till 105K. Just my .02
