Oldsmobile Aurora

Aside from flushing the trans fluid when I first bought the car, the only thing I have had to do with the trans is the shift solenoid that went out a couple years back. It would have been a real expensive fix, but at the time I had an auto shop and a brother/ASE Mechanic at my disposal. Turned a huge repair bill into a $30 parts bill and about 6 hours worth of work opening up the trans, fixing the problem and putting it all back together again.

I have a 2001 Olds Aurora w/ 107000 miles on it. It just started making this clicking noise when i accelerate. best description of noise is like something stuck in the spokes of a bicycle; it continues loudly until i achieve 35-40mph then it is hardly noticable. Anybody have any suggestions.....

Hi I am a young girl who just bought her first car. A '97 aurora. I love it. But I didnt take a man (or someone who knows about cars) with me to look at it. I want it to last me and it seems to be fine but the other day when I went to leave work I turned on the car and put it in reverse. It backed up a little and then locked up. The wheele wouldnt turn and I couldnt push the brake or gas. Then I put it in drive and it did the same thing. So I turned it off. When I turned it back on it was fine and no problems since but that really bothered me. I dont want the car to break down before I finish paying it off. What could it be? Anybody know?
