Ummm
I know the transmissions take different belt numbers. I was rebuilding 3 sentrias and 2 g6s a year ago. I ordered new belts for all of them. I keenly noticed different part numbers but it's the exact same belt. I think g3-g5 same transmission, v6 and ultimate g same transmission. Sentria transmission is same as g7d iirc. The transmission from sentria to avalir 2 are the same model it's got upgrades to the transmission but it's the same transmission.

Also of note that Kirby never advises any of their authorized repair centers or techs to actually repair the transmission. They just have them order an entirely new transmission. This is done solely to make Kirby more money and to save shop labor rates as well as prevent employee error and having to train employees. Not to say it cannot be fixed, as they can, but it's just Kirby's method is to replace the part entirely. So there might be discrepancies with the belts - whether be it specific tensions or gear teeth or whatever else may be.

It just makes me wish you could eMail Kirby and give them the serial # of your vacuum and then they can send you all the documents and information they have on file for the vacuum from the previous owner(s). You can get a comprehensive history of where it's been, and what has been done to it. Kind of like CARFAX for vacuums.
