First, a timing chain replacement is not a major repair. With today's extented engine life timing belt and chain replacement has become part of routine maintenance. More information is needed to answer this question. Listed are just a few of the varibles involved. What, for instance is the contributors idea of "well taken care off". What type of oil and filter is used and how often is it changed? Where are the miles being put on the car(city.highway, a combination of the two)? Is the car subject to many short trips. What environment is the car driven? How is the car driven. Example, is it allowed to come up to temperature before working hard? Is the automobile operated by more than one driver. What kind of driver(s) operate the Oldsmobile. What type of load is the Aurora subject, one person, two persons..? Is the car used to tow? If so what and how often?

Can you rebuild the transmission on a 2003 Saturn Vue?

not on the 4 cylinder model, this is not a typical transmission like the one found in most vehicles. this is a special cvt transmission that resembles that of a snow mobile and works with bands and belts. i would not advise to purchase nor try to repair one of these vehicles. if you can somehow contact a saturn rep, saturn will cover half of the cost of the repairs if the vehicle has under 100k miles.

It seems that you have a cracked sunshell inside the transmission. Unless you are able to rebuild it yourself, you will need to have a transmission shop repair it for you. They will have to tear it down and see if there is other damage. You should be able to drive it to a repair facility as long as you don't have to drive a great distance.
