Message:
This may sound odd, but since I've done my intake mod, it seems like I'm slipping my accessory belt for a split second on the 2->3 shift. I can sometimes hear it on the 1->2 shift, but it's more pronounced on the 2->3. It shouldn't be a bad belt, it only has about 8K on the belt. Anybody else slippin the belt?

Check the tenioner, they sometimes sieze and then the belt slips. Make sure that it swings back and forth freely.

Spray the tensioner with WD 40 (NOT THE BELT) but the spring in side i cant remember if its visable. but spray it in there and with your hands or a wrench move it back and forth until it seems to be working again. If this doesnt help you will need a new one.

Thanks for the advice. I'll be working the tensioner tonight to see if I get any results. Seems like a good idea to me!
