Today, my 1996 Buick Riviera with supercharger and 120K miles has developed a problem. Both the odometer and speedometer have stopped working. In addition,the transmission is whinning and the car’s performance is poor—poor acceleration and high taching before shifting. I have not checked tranaxle fluid level yet. Any idea what this problem mght be?   In addition, he Check Engine Light is On.  Thanks

Hi supercharger pulley has come off…is this an easy fix to replace pulley?

’95 Buick Riviera passenger side view mirror, it was hit into a mail box.. the fixture is fine, but the motor was broken off it’s posts so it’s basically dangling (still works oddly enough) and the mirror with the frame plate broke off completely. I have a replacement, but I’d rather not have a white mirror on my red car…. is there a way for me to pop off the glass and take this thing apart? I would like just to put the new motor with the attached frame plate in my red fixture… or should I suck up the price and just get the replacement painted?

Recently my car was dead so I replaced the battery.  It worked fine for 3 days.  Then it was dead again.  This time I replaced the alternator.  It worked fine for 3 more days.   Now it is dead again.  What possible reasons could be that my car will not hold a charge besides the battery or alternator?  The car is a 99 Buick Park Avenue V6 Supercharged.  Thanks!
