manual transmission

Howdy everyone, hope you're all having a great day! So I've been struggling to find any replacement to the crappy plastic shifter bushings which have plagued our cars from the factory. I've seen that Eeuro used to sell an aluminum alternative but they seemed to have ceased selling them for...

1998 Midnight Blue 900se Turbo Convertible in Orlando, FL Runs great & is really FUN to drive. Great acceleration & handles like a Go-Cart! There's nothing quite like driving down the coast with the top down on a cool night with warm butts thanks to the heated seats. :love::cool: 5 Speed...

Howdy. Any thoughts on getting a spare tranny for my 99? I want this car to outlast me, so I'm trying to get some major spares into the shed.

I'm having issues with occasional pop out from 1st gear. It feels like it's not going completely into gear and sometimes I have to shift between neutral and first to get it to properly engage. Around 7 months ago I had the shift linkages replaced and this pop out issue has been happening for...

Hi all, I have a problem with my manual tranny. I was driving pretty normally down the street and when I pulled up to a stop sign and tried to put it into first... nothing... I could not move the shifter at all side to side. It would go into third and fourth(didn't feel like normal though). I'm...

Hey! My name is Sarah and I have a 2004 Saab 9-3 Aero manual. I adore this car so much. Unfortunately, I signed up for this site so I could get tips on fixing her up (had an accident back in 2014 that just messed up my back end). So you'll be finding me in the repairs topics a lot!!!

1999 Saab 9-3 SE 5 Speed 2.0T. Been having an issue starting. Everything turns on, but the starter doesn't engage. I've been able to previously stick the shifter between 4th and R, then apply pressure and the car's starter would begin to kick over and start. I think whatever the issue is has...

I was planning on changing my transmission fluid on my 02 93 but when I was looking through my Haynes manual it said to replace the washers on the drain plug, check plug, and fill plug. However, I couldn't find this washer anywhere online to buy and the schematic at thesaabsite didn't even have...

I changed out the manual gear box oil in my 01 9-3 vert over the weekend. One of the issues that I read was that there isn't enough clearance in order to get a regular 8mm hex key into the space to open the drain valve. I did some research beforehand and found these short end "stubby" hex keys...

I am the second owner of a '94 CE, it is a 5-speed turbo. It currently starts and drives fine, but after 5-10 minutes of driving, 1st and 2nd gears become impossible to shift into. I have very little confidence that a local transmission shop would diagnose my issue properly, and that the costs...

Copy and pasting most of this from Dustin, but adding some while also taking out some unnecessary things. But, I was agitated from not finding much from google/forum search, so here we go, please sticky. This is for the 2003+ Saab 9-3 6 speed F40 Manual Transmission Flush. Replacing the fluid...

Yesterday I was driving around and my clutch started feeling weird. The car was still shifting fine even though the clutch felt 'empty'. About 10 minutes afterwards I found that I couldn't shift at all. There is little action from the clutch, just seems like it's not engaging all the way. I...

Hi there, I'm trying to research what the differences are in the manual transmissions by year, particularly from earlier model years in comparison with an '03. I understand that between '01 and '02 the upper transmission mount changed in location on both transmission versions of the car. I'm...

Not much on the forum on this oil. People talk of Amsoil and MTL but little to no info on this, but its been recommended. Who runs it? Any feedback?

Hi; I have a 94 convertible c900 5speed. Car runs good when cold, but after driving for a day or two, 2nd gear seems to disappear. No grinding or popping out of gear, just is not there on an upshift. I can occasionally get it on a downshift. After it sits for a day its back to normal, and...

I have a 9-3 2008 manual transmission convertible. About 2 months ago I was driving and something changed where I felt a vibration while accelerating. One could feel it while car was idle and there was a lower sounding hum to the engine. It would get worse at higher rpm so i start shifting...

My 'certified' indie upgraded the lpt clutch to aero specs a few months back and its running great. However, the missing cover is another mystery. :o I've searched for the part on a few online sites without success. Attached are pictures including a diagram from jimellissaab.com which I believe...
