    hi mike,
    i am very new to this forum and I am stuck up with a problem. As i was going thru, I have seen your stats and thought contacting you, plz help with this issue.
    Just a 2 days back My automatic gear shifter went into problems....
    this is how it happened:
    When i drive my 05 saab 9-5 for a while the gear goes hard and i can even feel a big jerk (like someone just hit me) changing gears ( even when i change P,D,R). I just did trans flush with ATF 3309 and it would go but it still feels the same. the mechanic said to rebiuld the trans. Is it worth it. He is charging me $2500. this is my only car and it will be dificult for me go to work without this. I want some solutions immediately to fix it before somethings really bad happens.

    hi Mike,

    I have 99 saab93 se and want to do engine swap with 94-98 saab 9000.
    I understand that saab 9k will work in my saab but I have used some of the old 93 engine parts. Can you give any direction ?

    It's an engine from a 9000, but the car was already a turbo model. The 2.3 in the S model can be turbocharged, but only with difficulty. There are a couple of guys who have done it.

    hey mike,

    I was just wondering if you turbo'd the 2.3L engine that you have in your 900 or if you found a turbo'd engine from a 9000 or something.

    thanks

    Wesley, welcome. You can use the MBC on this car but you might already have a strong turbo on your Saab if you have the SE model. There are a ton of resources here on the site that can help you start upgrading. First thing to do is figure out what handling stuff has already been done to the car...

    Milehigh, you can definitely upgrade the power but it's seriously expensive to have the ECU reprogrammed...I think BSR and Maptun offer reflashing options. Also look for genuinesaab.com
