Timing belt ?

[Jeff Hawes]

Greetings, all !
   
  When a timing belt goes, is it an abrupt no go or can it be gradual ?
   
  I was an eighth of a mile from home(all downhill fortunately) this morning when I experienced a substantial but gradual loss of power.
  Gauges were fine and the best description I can give is it felt like the front end had locked up. After parking it and checking fluids and tires, there was that unmistakable smell of burnt rubber.
