Ok -- I got the TC cleaned up, and the new belt installed. The belt is of the "short" variety, which I would have preferred to avoid, but I installed it anyway to see how it would do. It immediately started smoking lightly, and it appears to be rubbing on the TC back near the tensioner. Looks like that needs to be replaced before I do much of anything at all! The gentleman who sold us the car made us an appointment to take it in next Tuesday to be looked at, but I want to get the tensioner resolved (myself) first, I think. Hopefully he'll cover the cost, and I'll install it myself. Thanks again for all the great advice!
