  1. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hi everyone. I have a 2010 Saab 9-3 TTID Vector 180bhp and I just bought the car. I lifted up the car but can't seem to find a way to check the transmission oil level. It's different than the Z19dth engine code because there was a little window to check oil level that I can't find on the z19dtr...

    Does anyone know how to disconnect the connector on the transmission range sensor (also called the Neutral Safety Switch NSS)? I have an intermittent problem with the display not matching the gear selector position (PRNDL). I suspect the connector or contacts are dirty and not reading...

    Recently I started getting a grinding/growling noise in gears 3-5 on acceleration. Just recently got the car, and feel like the transmission fluid could be low. Any ideas guys?

  7. New Saab 9-5 (2010 - on)
    Dear Saab Enthusiasts, My Saab dealer in Chicago could not figure out how to drain the transmission fluid so yesterday i took a shot myself. Saw a small torx head and pulled it. Fluid came out but not anywhere near three quarts. It smelled like trans fluid but has no red color. Using a pump...

    when I recently bought my 9 3 vector, the only problem is apparently coolant leaking into the transmission fluid.... the guy said he drains off some of the transmission fluid - replaces with new, and its then good to go for another 2000 miles. that was his workaround, otherwise a 3k radiator...

    Looking for any help or advice!! The automatic shift lever is suddenly completely loose and ineffective. I drove my car home from work tonight without any problems.

  13. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Hi all, My first post here. I've got a C900 1985 16v FPT (RHD)- The transmission was making some nasty clunking after breaking at a junction which felt like it was causing the front to jump in time with rotation. I limped the car home going no faster than 10 mph. I've jacked the front of the...
  14. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi, beautiful 2002 2.3 Aero with 5 speed auto transmission, but it seems to be set on slow to get going. I know the power is there because when the car is moving around 50 kph something kicks in a bit, like a powerband. But from start is dangerously sluggish. I checked the turbo boost meter in...

We have gone on a couple of road trips and it has about 160,000 miles on her (not to bad). Recently the weather has been getting...
  16. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    My Saab 9000 (93) 188.000 kms developped a noise a while ago. It's related to driving speed. A fried who heard it last week said it's a failing main bearing on the transmission (he had similar with his saab 900 many years ago). Is this a known problem? If so, any instructions on how to replace?
