Hello, I have been chasing a transmission gremlin in my 1989 9000 Turbo for more than a year now. I have paid to have the slave changed once, changed the master myself three times with one of them being rebuilt before I replaced it, changed the line from the reservoir to the master twice and...

300K miles 2001 95 SE. Often after driving for a while, when I put car in neutral, say stopping at my mailbox, then put back in drive car seems to be trying to start off in 3rd gear or something, I call it the "slip mode", similar to the winter mode to keep drive wheels from spinning. Same...

Hey guys, I was looking over some receipts from the dealership that the previous owner of my car left in the glove box of various repairs and maintenance items that he had done on the car since he bought it new. I can see that he had a transmission flush done on the car at 60,000 miles back in...

Hello - any & all help is much appreciated! None of the threads I have seen Anywhere (here, youtube, other Saab sites, etc) show pictures that look like my engine. They all say to 'Reset the throttle Body' - but mine doesn't look like what they show. I have attached pictures. I would also...

Hello all, this is my first post on Saab Central. I adore my 2006 9-3 2.0t, and I want to be an active member of this community. I'm hoping to give back as much as I can in exchange for your thoughts on my current issue. It appears a leak has sprung up on my transmission. It looks like it's...

Hoping someone can help with a 2005 9-7x. When I was about to back into the driveway, I shifted from Drive to Reverse. The gear shift would switch positions, but the transmission did not. The display on the dashboard showed that no matter how the gear shift moved, the transmission stayed on D...

SAAB 2003 9-3 2.0t. The tranny is messed up. It looks like the car is enforcing it self too much for the slow motion at the start. When in speed ways it runs easy but starting to move is a pity. When change it to mechanical it goes to M5 directly and when reducing it goes from M5 to M2. Those...

Does anyone know where I can get the transmission pump cover removal tool? The WIS lists it as part number 87 92 699 Puller (KM-993). OR What have other used to remove this cover?

I have an '06 Aero SC automatic tranny and when I'm in 5th gear going about 45-50 mph and lightly accelerate my car jumps and it feels like the transmission is slipping. Does anyone have any insight into this problem or experienced this problem?

Hi, I'm new here so not too sure if this is where I need to post a question but I'm going to give it a whirl. My 2003 Saab 9-3 Linear will not go into 4th gear at all. It starts fine, runs good until you get it to around 40 miles per hour and then it loses all gears. Also, if you leave it...

It started about a two weeks ago, I didn't really hear it first but then I felt it, it's not always present, it sounded like the grinding sound when you miss shift but it doesn't come from the gear lever, It comes directly from the zone near the clutch pedal and it's much softer :o. Symptoms...

I recently purchased a 2000 9-5 Aero with auto trans. I was told by the previous owner it would only go into gear when it wanted to. The last time he drove it he made it a block from home and it would not go forward. I got it trailered home and in garage. The tranny fluid was overfilled and was...

Hey guys been a while since i've been on SC since the 01 broke down on me and I haven't been driving. Recently on my 02 9-5 2.3t transmission broke down while my uncle was driving it. He took it to indie who either replaced it or rebuilt the gearbox. (i'm guessing the first option) But now...

I have a 99 Saab 9-3 (Auto) that was running perfectly until the winter hit. About 2 weeks ago I had to have my fuel pump replaced because it left me sitting in the parking lot at my work. Over the past couple weeks I have noticed that until the car gets warm it doesn't want to drive. It would...

Hi fellow Saabers, need a few good parts for my sickly 88T tranny (GM 55602): I need a matching main shaft/pinion/ring (ring gear badly chipped, shaft marred at 4th), a 5th gear synchro retaining ring (it was deformed, may be fixable), a 4th gear assembly (retainer, synchro, spring retainer...

Started tearing down my 170K mile 5 speed today, pretty much according to MMOEs excellent guide (thanks MMOE!) Here is the first problem I found....lots of bits on the magnet in the bottom, and 2 pretty good chunks gone out of the ring gear. A quick look at some of my favorite parts sites turns...

ok so my 9-3 transmission just started doing this when the transmission is cold it shifts hard into drive but shifts fine into reverse. its a 5 auto with shifttronic any insight would be greatly appreciated

*Please forgive me because i know very little about cars, but love my 92 900. (163K) I bought the car last november and initially the reverse would pop out of gear. After it being adjusted it has been fine up until last week. I suddenly was unable to shift into 5th gear at all. A few day later...

Friends, I had been frustrated by the Service Theft Alarm (STA) on the SID of my 2001 9-5 wagon. I went and removed the unit and sealed the electrical connection end as recommend in another post so that I could come back and work on it when I had the correct solder points for the new...

My wife and I were on vacation and bought a '95 Saab 900S on a whim, and drove it 1200miles back to St. Louis Via route 66. The car ran great, smooth ride, powerful, I loved it. Here is the problem, The manual Transmission has no Reverse. Can anyone help me decide what to do with the vehicle...
