this is the Gatorback that i used. Works out perfect but there is tensioner space to go a bit smaller if you want

WRONG BELT.

The correct number is a 6 rib belt ending in 988

well...to each its own. the 995 works just fine for me with plenty of tension left in the tensioner. my belt is not loose and has never slipped, so either one will work

When I looked at your car, the belt tensioner had no more travel left. Essentially it was on its stop.

Not good.
