Cooling fans lose one speed, causing AC to stop. Swap water pump with belt. Certain years had cranks, like the bad ones Pontiac guys had to deal with years ago, that had poorly machined thrust surfaces which took out seals. Those were around 06-07.
A-604 transmissions seem to be hanging tight on ours so far and all are over 100,000. Drive them harder and they last longer.

Thanks; Ive been told the 3 speed autos ion FWDs were trouble free.

From what I researched the 2.4 is a non interference engine. This is a 2000 so, probably won't have

the crank issue.

Think we'll grab it.
