98 SL2 Auto Trans Shifting Problems by
jake292
Whenever I take off from a stop, my car seems to hesitate shifting into
the next gear (i.e. it takes a lot more RPMs make the car shift than it
used to). It also will hesitate to down shift, whether passing or just
coasting down. It will wait so long that when it finally does shift
down, it slams...

New Tires for Low-Mileage Saturn? by
Fantine
My elderly parents have a 1996 Saturn SL2 that has about 25,000 miles on it.
Three of the four tires are original. While the tread looks fine, I'm
wondering if the three 10-year-old tires need to be replaced. The research
I've done indicates that while tire manufacturers don't think that age is...

the Midas touch by
Scout
How can Midas install brakes for $39.95 and guarantee them for life?
There has to be a catch, some snag, like with the Monkey's Paw theory.
Anyone know what the catch is?
Thanks
