Whenever I get up to 50 or 60 mph and slow down from this speed (take
foot off gas) the engine makes a load whirring noise/loud strain when
down shifting. I took it to a transmission place. Transmission needs
to be rebuilt to the tune of $1700 - 2100. Mileage is 252k. Does this
price seem right for mileage and age? I really can't afford to keep
pumping money into this vehicle. I'm disappointed it didn't last
longer. I'm going to put it up on craig's list and disclose to the
buyer above information. Everything else works fine though. Please
send me condolences because I'm sad...I love my explorer to death - we
have had some great adventures but no more.
