    At what mileage should the timing belt be replaced in this car? Just rolled
    over 60,000 miles last week. Doesnt say (that I can find) anything about it
    in the owners manual. Used 90% for highway driving, in excellent shape.
    Thanks

    Peace

    You're about due now. If it breaks, the car will stop but the engine will
    not be trashed.

    Generally you want to replace a timing belt between 50-80K miles. Since
    you do a lot of Highway driving it would be a good idea to replace it
    now since those 4 cyl engines(assuming it is a 4 cyl) run a little fast
    on the highway. Nothing is worse than a broke timing belt!

    Good Luck!

    50K is wastefully early.
    We're talking about a '92 Shadow. I can think of a great many failures
    worse than a broken timing belt on a '92 Shadow, which has a
    non-interference engine.

    Thanks for all the replies. First of next month I'll see about getting it
    replaced.
