Help! Belt snapped and shredded. What size do I need?

2.5RSMatt · 04-08-2004, 10:11 PM

So one of my belts , the AC one shredded off and I need to know what size it is and where to get one. I have an UNderdriven pulley so its going to have to be smaller than stock but does anyone know the specific # or size or whatever? Both belts are going to replaced so do you know what sized I need.

btw I serached high and low and found nadda.

First- it would help to post the type of pulley you have, different ones may require different size belts.
Second- belts do not shred and snap for no reason, this is not normal wear. Examine all the pulleys carefully for damage, looseness or misalignment and correct any problems you find before replacing the belt.

mkay. well its an unorthodox racing UD pulley. I know they don't shred and snap for no reason. It was making noise before and the belts on were a little loose and at the highest mark so I needed new belts. I'm just wnating to know if I can pick some up at a local store or if they are some sort of special order.

Oh and heres the belt.

hey, you can pick them up from any local autoparts store, when fitz put mine on, it didn't come wiht any belts, so we had to run to a local autozone and pep boys, we got the belts from pep boys i believe, and here is the part numbers:
4 ribbed belt: 340K4

5 ribbed belt: 335K5

hope this helps, and good luck

And for reference, write it down for next time. Especially if you run other than stock size belts, keep a part # or belt identification # handy in the glove box. This tip from me from a problem in the past. It is a good idea. Brian
