It appears the linkage is fully extended to get the idler as far away from the belt as possible but the belt is still engaged. I double checked the belt as well and its 84" which seems correct. Any ideas? [Reply]   [No Email]

If rail/belt routeing not the problem,remove cover & check that eng/trans pulleys not loose or out of alignment,if pulleys lined up I would suspect previous owner may have changed/replaced eng pulley or linkage parts for idler pulley worn allowing pulley to stay in contact with belt.
