Subject: Re: 95 9000 tranny failure


its not so much to say that "all" auto trannies go bad, but its definitely common for them to fail. I've heard of them going 180K before, mine has 115 with no signs of quitting. A SAAB mechanice freind of mine says that you can actually blow one in a matter of minutes by brake torquing, and he burned a client's tranny by merely turing up the idle for an AC charge. Ten minutes of high idle, and it was just dead... bought my 9000 in great shape for $2300 w/112K an extra $770 and I got a warranty for 2 years that will pay if it goes out, at 1yr 11 mos. if it hasn't failed yet it fuking will!! ;~) "c0r0sive" <the.bombnopsamin.net> wrote in message news:84td83$6p6$1nopsament13-gui.server.virgin.net... > No offence but > > Never, never, never > buy a Saab with auto tranny unless you absolutely have to, I had a 900 with > one lasted 89K, I currently have a 900 with manual tranny which is still > going fine at 112K > > > Michael <M2OBnopsamv.net> wrote in message > news:6728-3872041C-10nopsamefull-147.iap.bryant.webtv.net... > > I bought my '95 9000 (non-turbo) last year with an automatic > > transmission.
