"The Whir". It started in second, then 3rd...now my saabtech tells me its time to replace the gearbox. Can anyone 'recommend' a good (quality) supplier? I'd much prefer new as long as its under 2K.

I'm in San Jose, CA if that makes a difference.

Thanks in Advance.

Search, there is a man who rebuilds these and others , a big business- I forget the name.

Saab in new Haven, Conn, a few years back, had "factory" rebuilt transmissions for $225.
This is now a GM transmission, and they may have a similar program...

Tnx

Yeah, the part is pretty easy to find. Here are a couple of links:

another here:

(recommend avoiding thesaabdepot.com --the site is a joke.)
The part Looks to be about 1,400 USD.

Was just hoping to hear from someone who's done the gearbox replacement and is happy with the supplier they used.

Update

Spoke with a friend of mine in the auto parts biz --he deals mostly in BMW parts. But he recommended these guys:
http://www.autosportsunlimited.com/parts.html

Appearantly, they sell rebuilt transmission parts that are warrantied and dyno tested. I'll call them tomorrow for a quote.

Happy 4th!!

Should have gone to the Saab Festival in Sweden! I hear they were selling them for like 50 SEK or something :lol:

Looks like it was a good time. Perhaps next year--with a list of needed parts:lol:
