Is it possible that a faulty 02 sensor, or Catalytic converter can damage an engine / tranmssion?

Question

is this possible ? If the 02 sensor or catalytic converter can break and then ruin other parts of a vehicle, such as the engine or transmission? Especially in a Chevy Cavalier, like a model from 2001 ?

Answer 1

       NO, NOT DIRECTLY

              "BRILLIANT"!!!!

Answer 2

not the transmission, it cant hurt that. the o2 sensor tells the car if the mixture of air and fuel is too lean or too rich so that can affect engine performance, maybe cause carbon build ups in the engine. but i cant see how that could possible affect the trnasmission
