Yes. The Catera's had horrible trans problems. The Catera was an Opel car, and used the 3.0 Opel engine.
They used a similar type engine on the first year or two CTS's, the 3.2 V6.
Overall, the Catera was a flop. It didnt matter either way, Caddy was in for a major transformation with a new outlook. The Art and Science theme took over, and cars like the Catera were swept under the rug.
