    Agreed, if I ever had the problem I would just set it to feet/windshield mix during the winter and vent/windshield mix in the summer. Sucks to not have full ACC, but getting to the distribution box is no easy task.

    I have no experience with total removal and repair, from what I understand it gets warped and the only real repair is replacement with new, since it involves pretty much tearing apart the entire inside I don't know if I would bother. I have been fortunate that none of my saabs have had this problem. There is a screw fix that some people have tried. I'd start by trying to lube it and work it back and forth with the screwdriver to see if it helps. Also it might not be the distribution box at all, maybe the stepping motor is bad, try adjusting the direction of the air with the motor removed (but still plugged in) and see if the motor moves.

    Hey there - thanks for posting a reply to my post.

    I am wondering if you had an opinion about how common the manual C900 turbo convertibles are here in Aus? I'm not sure about holding out for a manual given (what appears on paper anyway) the substantially better claimed performance advantage over an auto.

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
