Also, be sure the belt hasn't slipped out of position on any of the other pulleys...that can cause it to act like a shortened belt too, but you'd probably notice unusual wear on the belt.

I took off the belt when i put the new tensioner on and realligned it with all the pulleys and at first i had like a .5mm gap, you couldnt see it but if you pushed the belt against the tensioner you could feel it. But today im putting on a newer tensioner and a new belt and see where it takes me
