I tried the short belt for a few days (at 60K) on my '01 2.3 Sportwagon but changed back to the long belt because of chatter in the belt and pulleys while turning at slow speeds. Every morning when I backed down the driveway and turned onto the street the noise and vibration was awful. I also noticed that the PS pump slipped at times while parallel parking.
When I changed to the short belt the tech also changed the pulleys and tensioner at the same time. This setup may work on some cars, but it was unacceptable on mine. I'll do the pulleys etc. over at 120K and keep the long belt.
