Why does the axles or the control arm move or shift from side to side when sheering?
I am having the same problem and it turns out to be that the bushing in the control arm to the frame is shot. The control arm is not suppose to move at all. This will also cause tire wear. You can actually replace the bushing at an inexpensive cost however, if you try to buy the bushing kit from the Saturn dealer, they will tell you that you have to replace the control arm. That is very expensive. By the way , you need a press to replace the bushing.

Why does your transmission clunk when it down shifts into passing gear or down shifts into first?
A very likely possibility other than problems within the transmission itself would be the transmission mount. This is a rubber bushing in a metal bracket that supports the transmission by connecting it to the frame. When the bushing becomes worn it allows the transmission to move and it is very noticeable because the hard shifting of an automatic transmission is masked or absorbed by this bushing. Hope that helps, good luck!
