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...

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...

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?

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...

Hello, I've found and read the Auto to Manual Conversion PDF doc that's available on the C900 tech forum for performing the swap on a C900 (obviously :roll:). While I understand the fundamentals would be the same to do the swap on a 99, is it as much of a bolt on conversion on the 99 than on...

I was interested in knowing what options are there for replacing an automatic transmission in a 9000 CSE. I know that a number of folks have taken on the auto to manual conversion. I was wondering if there are is a compatible option that could take the 4 speed to a 5,6 or even 7 speed auto or...

So a little backstory here: Purchased a 2002 9-5 Aero wagon about 2 months ago and it has tuned out to be quite a fixer-upper. Right off the bat I replaced a cracked fuel tank and also had the head gasket done by my indy mechanic that I have been taking my SAABs to for years. Since then the car...
