I just got a tranny rebuild,i drove it a few miles but after i stopped the truck and put it in reverse i heard a pop and the serpentine belt tensioner flew off....
Do they have to do anything with the serpentine belt when they remove/rebuild the transmission?

thanx
 
No, I'd say it's just a coincidence.
 
I agree, there's no reason to mess with the serpentine belt tensioner for a transmission job.

this is true....(only the rare, sneaky lowlife mechanic would loosen the tensioner, or put a pencil eraser in each of the sparkplug boots to make the plugs foul out in a couple thousand miles would do such a thing)
