Oldsmobile Cutlass Air Conditioner Not Blowing Cold Air

I have been having recent problems with Air Conditioning in my 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Last week, the air conditioning stopped working. Air still flows out of the vents, but the air is warm around the same temperature as the vent setting. Usually when I switch from ventilation mode to air conditioning, I am able to hear the compressor click and turn on. The engine also revs up. I no longer observe this.

Buick Century Automatic Transmission Problems

My dad has a 2000 Buick Century with an intermitent problem. Sometimes when he is driving the transmission feels like it is shifting into other gears and he hears a whining sound from the front end.He is forced to shut it down for at least five minutes. After he “rests” the car, it is fine and he can go on his way. This has been going on for a few years. It might happen twice in a day and then doesn’t happen again for two months. The transmission shop didn’t come up with any solutions except the idea of overhauling it to look for solutions. Do you have ideas what this could be? Obviously this can be a dangerous thing esp when he is driving on highways.
