    Hello everyone! I have a 2005 Saab 9-3 1.9tid with a 6 speed automatic transmission and the problem I am having with it is that whenever I put in into drive(from p or r) it jerks pretty heavily and after that all is good, I can stop an go as many times as I want and it doesn’t do it anymore...
  2. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello folks, wanted to get on here and see if I could get any advice on a noise I'm getting on my 02 Saab 9-5. The car has about 90,000 miles on it, and as of late its had this odd issue when I'm going about 35-45 mph around 1500 rpm I get what sounds like I'm going over highway rumble strips...
  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I am here asking for help to understand my issue. I was told I needed to replace the neutral safety switch which they are calling it the TCU. Back story, my 93 had no starting issues but one day I removed battery and then the car wouldn't start anymore. Battery is new and fully charged but...
  4. C900 Workshop
    My transmission drain bolt was seized and we had to use a oxy acetylene torch to remove it and now it leaks. Google has not had any results for a c900 automatic transmission drain plug/bolt that is for sale. Any help or options?

    I'm wondering if any of you Masters of 3-D printers could manage to make a T-bar style shift lever, as simple to swap as possible? Personally I think that the factory lever is ugly af and looks too much like the handle which was used in the Opel/Vauxhall Astra F. It should fit the 4-speed trans...
  6. NG 9-5 Workshop
    I have a 2011 9-5 2.0T auto - this has now happened twice over two years. Everything will be fine and I get in the car and it will not go into gear. It shifts to R or D but the engine will just rev like it’s in neutral. If I let it sit a day or two and get back in it works fine like nothing has...
  7. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi All! :) So I was just wondering the other day. Would it be possible to buy an aftermarked automatic gearshift knob and install it to a automatic gear 2002 9-3? And if it is possible...How do you do it?

    The covering on my handle has peeled and the push button to engage the gears has broken it's clip. I taped it to be functional, but off course I'd like to replace it as soon as possible. If you have one in good cosmetic shape or even have a link to where I could reasonably buy one new, please...
  9. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I can never seem to find one straight answer on what ATF is good to use and what is not. The Saab OEM fluid is $24 a liter on eeuroparts which is crazy. Autohausaz.com sells Aisin ATF (93165147) for $9 a quart which is supposed to meet the AW-1 requirement. Is this okay to use? Aisin 93165147...
  10. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hello fellow Saab DYIs Well we don't have a lot of choices do we! My problem is a disintegrated bushing between the transmission end of the shifting cable. It is a ball and socket connection that actuates the lever on the Trans from the shifter, ie : connects the tranny to the shifter via...
  11. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello, I am changing out the three linear solenoids in my 2009 Saab 9-3 2.0t. When replacing the new ones, does the position matter? I'm not talking about the order, I have replaced them one at a time with the correct one, but the difference is mainly in where the connector rests and where the...

  14. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    First post, Excited to see what people have to say. Ok, so I've had my 9-3 Arc for a few months, and I know I'm going to keep this car basically forever. It came red, but I decided to paint it satin black. Got to be the best car I've driven. On my many cruises I find myself wanting more from the...
  15. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I am considering buying a 2005 Saab 93 convertible. The main problem is the automatic gearbox refuses to go into 3rd. Goes into the other gears ok. My question is, could it be the transmission fluid, the solenoids, gearbox reprogramming. Or could it be something worse?
  16. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    During a long drive recently, I encountered a problem with the transmission. I'd been driving for around an hour when I slowed down approaching an intersection. When I reached a speed around 50-40 km/h the car started to stutter and almost stalling itself, so I pulled over and put the car in...

    Hi, I've just bought my second Saab. A 2002 9-3 convertible 2.0t at a bargain price. The catch is that the gearbox doesn't function. Symptoms: Gear leaver moves freely. It does park. When they select a gear it just sits in neutral. In the Instrument panel the lights light up at the selected...

    So I was in the process of replacing my subframe bushings this week (what a job!) and I noticed that my rear engine mount is just about broken in half! The rubber outer cover is completely cracked open and there's a huge amount of play. This definitely needs replacing, and was probably the main...
