Site News - 4/9 Saab Owners' Convention Day Pass Raffle | 3/26 M Car Covers (by State of Nine)

Subject: Cold Auto Transmission Woes



My '97 900 SE seems to be getting a little bit cold-blooded.  Now that the
weather has turned cooler, I find that the transmission will often not shift
into first gear when the car is first started.  The tranny defaults to "safe
mode" (third gear) and the check engine light and check gear box light turn
on.  If I let the engine warm for a few minutes the problem does not exist.
After a few restarts, the warning lights shut off.

Letting the engine warm is a bit of a nuisance; the car only has 70K miles!
Anyone out there with the same problem and a solution?

Thanks,

Peter V.
