I owned a 91 years ago. If it was the transmission you would feel it slipping when the gears changed. I would start with a bottle of fuel treatment(they claim it improves performance). A tune-up may help. If it was drivin hard over the years, it could be the beginning of multiple problems. I drove mine hard. Wheen I hit 100,000 miles it seemed that everything was falling apart. It started with the heater control valve and ended with a blown transmission. All in about a month. Also, switching to synthetic oil is worth a try. Good luck!
Your transmission is going out... Buy a bottle of Lucas transmission fix, pour it in, make sure you warm the veh. up for at least 15 minutes before driving it, and pray it gets you through till you can get a new one. Not fun!!! I had several explorers with this problem. I was able to drive them all for over a year with the lucas trans fix in it before it went ka-put.
The transmission fluid may have thined out from the heat.
I would try changing the transmission filter and transmission oil... It problem is still there you may have to get your transmission rebuilt.
find the vacuum solenoid on the side of your transmission, probably on the passenger side. pull the hose and see if transmission fluid leaks out. If so, the solenoid has failed and your engine is drinking the fluid.
It depends some on the route you take, but figure on around 4 hours 15 minutes with no traffic problems.
34 miles driving at 70mph requires 29.1 minutes.
You will feel great at that moment,but about 5 minutes later you will feel sluggish and lazy
