A. Sounds like the tonneau motor gear. You might be able to bend it back into alignment and get an improved brace from the dealer. Its a pain to install but will prevent alignment problems in the future. Check for any missing teeth on the gear by looking behind the trunk liner on the right side using a mirror and flashlight.
B. The timing chain should last 150k miles. The tension can be checked to determine if it needs to be replaced.
C. Check the ball joints and strut mounts.
D. Auto transmissions on the NG (new gen GM) 900 are much more reliable than the original 900. Most of my experience it with the 5 speeds though.
