Hi everyone. I am at an impasse and could use some help. I have a 1988 YJ with the 2.5l, TBI and 5 speed manual AX-5. My harmonic balancer is showing signs of wear and won't last much longer and I need a replacement one. Trouble is all the ones I'm finding on the web say they'll fit, but they have the serpentine belt. Mine has the V-drive belts, one for the PS and one for the alternator. I can't seem to locate a V-drive belt HB anywhere. The dealer says they've discontinued them so that's not an option. Has anyone solved this problem and/or is there are work-around for this? TIA!
