Has proven to be a tiring and disheartening job. I literally called 2 dozen places and once they hear that the tranmission is for a saab.. have a standard "we don't work on saabs" statement. This is even after telling them the transmission is out of the car.
I found two possibles. One is a local place that will exchange it for a rebuilt. He quoted me three thousand dollars, but I am assuming he missed the part about it already being out of the car.
The second is in Cherry Hill. The owner is a Master Saab Tech who did 13 years at a dealership and has rebuilt hundreds of them. He is willing to open up the covers and take a peek inside before giving me a quote.
The worst part is.. there is nothing really wrong with the box. It is just worn from 20 years and 250,000 miles of work. It grinds sometimes getting into 5th and occasionally it will jump out of reverse if you give it too much throttle when backing up.
I see the guy in cherry hill (over an hour away) next week
"Say What?"
