Several months ago I posted with regard to a problem I was having with my '86 900 Turbo Auto where the Auto (Borg Warner 37) just stopped driving, no forward, or reverse, only park. It was the pins on the driving side (front) of the torque which drive the ATF pump. They had broken off. It looked like a dud job done several years earlier by the previous owner.. The dealer who I got the car off, SAAB Serve in Parramatta Sydney Australia ( Huge plug !!! These guys were fantastic !! ) not only fixed it for free but rebuilt the transmission, new seals, torque convertor, ATF pump, even though the car was not strictly under warranty. It just goes to show that there are dealers out there with a conscience and integrity and will stand by their product and professionalism without reservation. The car is now back on the road, a pleaure to drive, and I am a happy little SAABer again. I would also like to extend my thanks to all here in alt.autos.saab for your help. Regards Ian
