Im 17 years old n i just bought a 1996 Ford Explorer 4 $2,000 as ma first car...it wuzz running great 4 2months until i started noticeing that every time i passed 35mph n started tapping on the brakes to slow down it made a really loud noise so i would press on the accelerator again n slowly let go while slowly pressing on the brakes it helped with the noise problem but i knew it wasnt rite. one day my car stopped running it would turn on but i wudnt reverse or go forward at all...it turned out i blew the tranny n so my tio fixed it bt it only lasted lk 5 mnths then broke down again with the same problems :/....i dnt thnk i will ever buy another ford model at all

Explorer Sport V6

  • Manual transmission

I was driving along, changed gears, and a loud hum and ticking noise started. Doesn't do it all the time, mostly when I'm accelerating or slowing down. Haven't driven it since that day. Anyone know what it could be?
