Squeak & Loss of Momentum
Hi there - On Thanksgiving this year, while on the highway our Subaru did
something weird...it felt like my foot had slipped off the gas for a split second,
(loss of momentum) and it was accompanied with a quick squeak sound (like
that of shoes on a BB court). It just turned over 101K and I know it needs a
timing belt/water pump/serpentine belt replacement, which will be done next
week. BUT the loss of momentum makes me think transmission. I don't want
to put all that money into the above listed repairs when my transmission could
be failing. Any ideas what that weird squeak and loss of momentum is? (OH -
and it happens at any speed, not just high way speed).
