Hello
New lister here, just bought a pretty tight 87 900s 16v, which has a few issues, figured I would bounce them off the collective minds.
Gearbox vibration under acceleration and at 70mph, researched and found that there is a stub axle whose bearings are prone to failure, and alledgedly can be done in car... True / False ?
Secondarily, I have an oil leak from the timing chain cover area, I believe its from the cover area itself but have not really burrowed into that as I just got her yesterday.
Thirdly, the power steering pump bracket has come completely off the block, looks like bolts fell OUT...appears to be missing components, and one post says its fragile as well? Wondering if the missing mounting bolts for this bracket might hold the camchain cover tight, and be a source of the leak ( laughs )
SO.. wheres a good source for a shop manual, something better than a haynes... if there is one ?
Is there a concise interchange list, for what transmisions fit what, in the event I might just fit a different gearbox?
1 day into owning a Saab and already I can feel that fanatic feeling, they really are neat / odd / fun
