I've got a 2002 9-3 SE 5SPD with around 75k miles on the clock. I'm the third owner. As of a few weeks ago I started noticing that the car would pop out of reverse under normal throttle when backing up. When it pops out there's a noticeable clunk. I'm able to keep it in gear if I actuate the...

can anyone tell me if a 2001 9-3 2.0 turbo 5speed transmission will fit my 1995 ng900se turbo with 5speed? my 900 is loosing 3rd gear fast and I have a good parts car with a smooth shifting 5speed

Hey guys. Just took the viggen in for a transmission swap. Now, after the fact, the shifter isn't centered anymore. If anything, it's aligned with first gear? any idea on what could have happened and/or how i can fix it? Also, i had the radiator replaced along with accessory belt, water pump...

Hi all, i've got a 94 saab 900NG 5 speed. its a 2.3L Non-turbo. recently after parking it i was not able to reverse out of the parking spot. since then it has not even acted like it has reverse. putting it in reverse is like putting it in neutral. I've read that it could be a linkage problem...

Hi, I hope this is the correct place to post this issue. I have a 2002 Saab 9 5, purchased from my brother-in-law. He kept the oils changed regularly and had the car serviced by the dealer. When he sold me the car, he told me that the gearbox light and the service engine light came on in the...

I'm looking for a manual transmission for my 1997 900 turbo. I've looked at a few on eBay that are ~$200.00 but kind of far away to pick up (and shipping is outrageous). I'm in Reston, VA. Thanks!

Hey all! This is my first post on TSL; glad to be a part of the community. So, there has been talk here and there about swapping the internals of the Cobalt F40 gearbox into our F25s. I know Nick said on his site that it's a direct swap. Has anyone on here actually done this modification? If...

The simple question - are all 2002 9-5 Automatic Transmissions the same? I am looking at a nice 2002 Aero with a bad tranny. A solenoid has gone bad. My indy mechanic (SAAB only and a very good one) owns it, and has a 2002 salvage Transmission from a linear with low miles on it. He is willing...

I was wondering if there is anybody in the forum community that wouldnt mind helping me out with pullen my trans out/in or just someone willing help out with up coming projects ( i will provide beer or some cash for gas). I would gladly help anyone out with theirs. my friends are not into saabs...

dead trans -CEL codes cleared, still no go Hi there. Just got the 99 saab 9-5, 2.3 turbo, very nice car. Bought it with a blown engine. Put a used engine in there. Last saturday we were driving for about 35 minutes from my house and the car drowe nice. No check engine or nothing. All the...

When I put the transmission in my 900 into gear, or shift gears, I usually get a thunk sort of noise when the clutch grabs. I am going to overnight-bleed the clutch...hopefully that does something. It has done this for as long as I can remember. It has a new clutch master cylinder, slave...

Can anyone tell me what the procedure is for adjusting the handbrake on my 01 9-3? was also thinking of changing the transmission oil and have read somewhere that saab have a better gear oil available now than what was originally put in the car. any advice on what to do in this case or what oil...

New to this saab net. Just got a 2001 Viggen with a broken trans, wondering which would be a direct replacement. Is the regular 9-3 with a 2.0 the same type of trans? I got a few I can put my hands on. How about the 9-5-...I think the housing is bigger. Anyway, I need some hints here. I...

I just got my first 9K CSE and its a late model 93 so kinda a grey area for trannys so I am looking for some local ish advice on the matter... Right now it seems like a bent fork since 3rd and 4rd are non-existent but i am prepared for the worst and am willing to buy a tranny but fixing it would...

My 9-5 V-6 has been leaking coolant for a couple weeks. It doesn't leak all the time, only occasionally and mostly only when it is off. It is leaking high in the center against the firewall. Any ideas? Will post photos soon. Also, often times when I start up from a stop or slow roll I...
