1995 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"Possible nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Flywheel Sheered 6" from crackshaft in perfect circle.
Flywheel cracked and caused cracked block and transmission bell housing.
General comments?
I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem and what the cause was.
The transmission was replaced before buying the vehicle as told to me by the dealer.
The first problem occurred after being driven approx 500 miles. The second problem occured after being driven approx 500-1000mi.
When flywheel cracked the second time it wobbled and broke off about a 6" piece off the top of the bell housing and 3" piece of the engine block.
