Hello,
I have 97 Ford Explorer with 104K miles on it. When slowing on the freeway, I sometimes hear the gears whir and get no response then when attempting to accelerate. I can put it into neutral and then pump the gas pedal and then put it back into drive and it reengages. Tonight I drove on the freeway a lot and notice that this is now happening even on the surface streets.
I've been told by a mechanic who drove it on the freeway it is my transfer case. Should I spend 1,100 dollars to fix it before I sell the car (we're due for an update) or take what I can get as a trade in?
Thanks in advance.
Abby
