The price 27000 sek =4225.62 us dollars according to the conversion chart at http://www.xe.com/ucc/ . Thats quite a bit of money. although it would be awesome to have. :cheesy:

I've heard of it, and I want it. However I need a manual gearbox first.

Keep in mind, 27 k is VAT excluded. The price i'd have to pay if i could afford it, would be 33 750 :- without shipping. A dollar in swedish crowns is roughly 6,90:-
In other words.. Its more like 5000 dollars, not 4000.
Cause you have to pay VAT, am i right?

Damn nice box tho, 740 nm.. Phew.. With a Quaife differential, imagine the possibilities!

"The 6th gear is actually slightly higher than Saabs traditionally very high geared 5th gears."

We don't have to pay VAT, although there may be some import fees.

If setup properly understeer is no worse then w/o a LSD. At least that's the case with my SPG which has a trans that cost more then the car itself

It sucks going around a track doing 1 tire burnouts with the outside tire fighting to hold the car in line thus horrible understeer. It's EASY to controll a car where if it looses grip both tires slip, also a LOT easier to controll oversteer

Jesus, what are you waiting for?!

I think the Cobalt 6 speed gearset is the same except the 6th gear is a little bit different ratio,so maybe if you could find someone importing those gearsets you could use that and save a little bit.

would those fit???

 

[lowbudgethero]

these are just gears for the stock saabs gearbox *housing*

 

[Saabohème]

It is gratifying to see that some companies have undertaken to tackle the most serious high power short-coming in these cars. I do not know how long they will be available as the cost will keep demand pretty low so they may lose interest pretty quickly. I hope I am wrong.

most people do not have 4000 dollars left lying around nor the 1000 dollars to have it installed or know how to make it work on their own

Sad but true.
