Hey y’all. My SUV is a 94 Ex XLT 4.0L OHC 2WD 4DR 300,391 mi.
The following symptoms presented on 3 occasions between May and Aug 2019 on roads with speed limits of 55 mph and under.
The day of the first incident I took her to a shop that fixed my brake lights. The mechanic told me, “Your transmission is about to go and the timing belt needs replacing.” He also said that’ll be $88 ma’am... (I since learned that no one else has heard the classic bad timing belt noises).
She shifts, steers and brakes fine otherwise.
Thank you for any help.
