Transmission was initially misdiagnosed as being ok. The problem was the "range sensor", which showed up on the transmission shops diagnostic computer on a second look.
Replacement of the range sensor solved the problem. This was a $150.00 fix. Unfortunately a lot of other cash was spent because of the initial miss.

SOURCE: Timing belt is broken. Interference or non interference motor?
Non-interference. How fast were you going when belt broke ? Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
