Transmission seems to not winding down

No you don,t have to remove the transmission, To install a slave cylinder, Borrow a repair manual from a libbarry. To guide you though it,

Probably a broken seal somewhere around the edge of the windshield

more than likely it is just low on power steering fluid. system might have air in it now. so after fill power steering unit to proper level driver the car and check fluid level again. and add more if needed . I believe car should have motor running for when checking fluid, same as transmission.

sounds like your ABS sensor is bad. The ABS sensor controls the trac. control. but it wouldnt effect daily driving. you would only notice it if you slamed on the brakes on a slick surface. the brakes will lock up like they ARE NOT supposed to.

Motor mount could be gone or low on transmission fluid.

have to remove blower motor to clean out ,most of the time there is leaves in it.

If i were u i would take it to a transmission shop. They may can fix it. Did you check fluid?

Possibly the internals of the muffler (baffles)

Your Alero does not have a transmission dip stick. You do not need to check it unless it starts leaking.


Please let me know if this information is helpful. Positive feedback is appreciated. Thank You!

sounds like you need your transfer case looked at and repaired.....that the only thing i can think of...hope it helps :)
