SOURCE: abs and trac control lights are on

It is one of your wheel bearings. The problem is easily solved by taking the car to a dealer, or having a code reader, and determining which wheel bearing is bad. The wheel bearing is under $150 and should be installed by someone with some muscle, as the bolts are torqued from the factory extremely tight in a tight location. The wheel bearing have all of your sensors for abs built into them and if that sensor goes out your computer tells the abs and traction control to shut down, hence you get the lights on on the dash.

SOURCE: wanna know if i can put a tranny for basic 1995 riviera in my Supercharger

you will most probably need a beefed up tranny to take the power of the engine, I have just installed a 350 supercharged chevy motor in my sons car with a Turbo 350 transmission and a shift kit which I have been told by an auto trans mechanic may not take the power of that engine.
It is costing him $1500 australian to have it reconditioned so I hope it will survive the rides

New super charge is knocking

Not sure what the problem is hear, it knocks, well if it is full of oil and the oil is the correct type then the supercharger is defective would be my guess. Since that is a guess have a local dealer confirm the SC is the noise. It could be lower engine noise as well don't you think?.

Service engine soon light will not turn off even after the engine has been serviced. What are the codes to reset the censor in the computer? It's a 1997 Buick Riviera Supercharged.

just unhook the battery for about 30 seconds. that works on most cars. or just have a local auto parts store read the code and then clear it. they can tell what sensor is making the light come on. most do it for free.

Can the supercharger be changed out to a regular intake manifold

NO THE PCM IS PROGRAMED TO RUN WITH IT. IF THE SUPCHARGER IS MAKING NOISE, THEN THE PLASTIC WHEEL ON THE INSIDE OF THE SNORKLE IS OUT OF ROUND. REPLACE THE AND YOU'LL BE FINE. MAKE SURE YOU DRAIN THE SUPERCHARGER OIL FIRST OR YOU WILL HAVE A MESS. THERE IS AN ALLEN HEAD DRAIN AND FILL PLUG BY THE SNORKLE. YOU WILL NEED SOMETHING TO **** THE FLUID OUT. YOU WILL HAVE TO GET NEW FLUID FROM THE DEALER NORMALLY 3 BOLTS ARE ENOUGH. TO REMOVE THE SNORKLE THERE ARE A SERIES OF 10 MM BOLTS. TAKE THOSE OUT AND GENTLE TAP ON THE SNORKLE AND IT WILL COME OFF. YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE SUPERCHARGER FLUID EVERY 100K OR SO. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY THOSE PLASTIC WHEELS ON EBAY.

Noise coming from turbocharger

1995 riviera is not turbocharged; it is supercharged--big diff; if the noise sounds like rocks tumbling, then you need to replace the plastic coupler in the supercharger; part is cheap -;labor is a lil high; it is a pain because you have to remove the alternator bracket on the buick version of the 3.8
