Hi, God I've missed this site, not been able to log on due to password issues (trying to sort on mobile version grrr). Ive just taken on the mammoth task of changing the clutch, slave, seals, mtf oil, enameled sub frame, fitted poly subframe bushes, swapping out the intercooler that was holed...

Hi all ,my first post so be gentle (lol) After years of admiring saabs and only ever owning an 1986 900 t-16 i thought i would treat myself and bought a 1 owner fsh 2003 aero 9-3 98k lovely car .but after owning for a couple of weeks ive noticed that the gearbox (6spd)is really notchy especially...

My 9000 seems to be getting quite noisey from within the cam cover. It's a rotating knock if that makes any sense. It could be a lifter but doesn't sound quite like a lifter. I lifted the cover and the tensioner and guides looked fine. Cam lobes looked good and the lifters aren't worn. The...

Hi all my 93 LPT 2.0l with only 59k miles is giving me cause for concern. Had a new clutch last spring and the gearbox was like a knife in soft butter......until this morning. Found the 1st gear hard to engage, hard to go down in 4th into 3rd and the reverse is much harder too. Is this a mere...

This weeks 'problem'! when car changes down a gear at low speed (think its probably 2-1 or 3-2) it is occassionally really noticable and seems almost comparable to dropping the clutch on a manual (well, not as bad but not as smooth as you would imagine!) if this is 'normal' i can live with it as...

my saab has got very stiff gears. They have been greased etc. The stick does not move freely in neutral either. Any ideas.
