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?

When repairing a car it is important to know the costs of the repairs. To rebuild a 2500 Dodge Transmission it could cost between $2000 and $4000.
yes.
need way more information
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.
Well for oil changes tire changes etc. it varies on he cost you will have to be more specific in your desired repairs and their costs for me to provide greater information
You can spend more on an engine, but both can be expensive. There is no way to guess which is going to cost more. Some engine repairs can be as little as $100 and some transmission repairs can be $3,000 and the reverse is true.
if there was no reason to even 'suspect' any tranny problems due to the point of impact and damage they inspected they would begin repairs, once a transmission problem is observed they should diagnosis it and then decide if it were indeed accident related.....
The transmission serial number on a Honda Odyssey is located on the side of the transmission stamped on a tag. This is important when ordering replacement parts or completing repairs.
Transmission repair involves fixing any of the pumps and valves in a car's transmission that may have malfunctioned. Cost can run into the thousands. Average cost is ~$2000.
Only if the transmission was damaged in an accident. Auto Insurance does not pay for maintenance or mechanical repairs that are not the result of an accidental loss.
If you have a warranty, take it back to the dealership for repair. If you don't have a warranty, then you are responsible for all repairs.
