  1. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    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. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Good afternoon all, I'm kind of at a decision point and would appreciate input. My car is an OG 2001 9-3 convertible w/ 5 speed manual. I need to dispose of it but I'm weighing two options: 1) Put more time and money into repair, then try to sell. 2) Bite the bullet and send to junkyard...

    Just out of curiousity, can a 6 speed manual transmission be installed in a 9-3 XWD sedan that already has a 6 speed automatic?

    In the spirit of "when it rains, it pours," after replacing the water pump, thermostat, battery and transmission cooler lines, my 2003 9-3 SS is having issues shifting and engaging gears. Originally, when this started there was a TCM code P0733 60 Gear 3, Faulty Gear Ratio. I did several drain...

    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...

    Saab 9-3 aero 2.8 V6 Okay everyone I'm having a serious issue, my transmission is slipping due to what I think is low fluid, I did a bunch of work to this car which included removing the motor. I lost transmission fluid from the cv axle housing and also while the motor was being moved around. I...

    Ive always experienced pretty significant wheel shake and vibrations with my car but it has gotten worse very quick, especially under load and at high speeds (75-80mph). I’m also hearing a constant knocking noise increasing with wheel speed from the drivers side under acceleration. Went to check...
  8. 9-5 Workshop
    Long time since I've been on here! I recently bought a 2008 9-5 2.0t automatic for a low price. Drove her home without any problems, fixed the cosmetic damage over the course of a few weeks and went for a short drive. I noticed a whirring sound when engaging drive, seemingly coming from the...

    I have a 2006 9-3 2.0T convertible manual, with 140k on it, which has suddenly begun to give me trouble. Trying to put it into 1st results in grinding noise, unless I really shove the stick forward. The same thing happens in 5th. 2, 3 and 4 all work perfectly. The engine pulls strong, and there...

    When I pulled the LH axle to send it for service, some of the transmission fluid came out. I didn't think ahead to catch it in any kind of measuring cup--I just stuck the same drain pail I use for oil changes under it. I don't expect that a huge amount drained out, but I don't have an easy way...
  12. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi there, my 2001 Saab 9-5 is one of the last pre-facelifts, equipped with the 4-speed auto trans box. Now I have the opportunity to acquire a 5-spd auto box, but I have the dim feeling that it's not done with that as I do need also the ECU, controllers, instrument cluster, probably the ABS...

    Hello all, I am looking for a later gen 9000 5 speed manual transmission. All gears including reverse have to work, and I'm willing to spend up to $400+shipping for a good example. It doesn't matter if it's the FM57 or the FM51. Thanks.

    Hi, My 2003 9-5 with paddle shifters was all good until I sent away my SiD to be repaired. The guy had all sorts of personal issues and it was delayed so he just sent me another one. It is throwing a transmission light on the dash and the paddle shifters no longer work. I've read this can be...
  15. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Howdy! I recently purchased and installed The Genuine Saab transmission mount. In doing so, one of the bolts connecting it to the frame of the car will tighten, but not nearly to the 54lb feet suggested- it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, and it’s flush with the frame, but I can still spin it...

    Is the auto transmission in a LPT the same as that used in a FPT? I have a problem in the transmission of my FPT convertible and have found a second hand tranny from a LPT of the same year and wonder if a straight swap will work ok? Cheers, Steve

    I ended up stripping the 12mm hex on the transmission fluid drain bolt and the torx screw that goes inside of it snapped in half so I have been looking around for a replacement. I believe the 2007 aero 6-speeds come with the AWTF-80 SC transmission? And the only bolt I could find online is sold...
  18. 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...
