About 2 weeks ago I was doing a reverse donut (I know brilliant) in my 2000 Cavalier. Mid-rotation I lost power steering. Now my power steering only works when the car has been parked for about 2 hours and then it only works for about 5 -10 minutes. I also hear knocking sounds coming from the steering column when I turn the wheel. Also, starting about 2 days ago, the transmission has started to slip. That only happens when getting on the gas mid-way through a left hand turn. The revs climb freely, then catch, I get a jolt through the drivetrain, and then my wheels spin before they hook back up. I'm hoping to get through the winter with the car and then turn it into my permanent winter runner as I will be taking delivery of a new Solstice GXP. Can anyone give me some insight into these problems? All fluids are topped off and clean. Is it possible the power steering and tranny problems are related?
