This car has been meticulously maintained. ATF changes every 15k. Never towed a trailer.
I have known the mechanic at this dealership for over 20 years. He is the Master Mechanic, lead technician at this place, and very straight forward, honest to a tee. I have absolutely no reason to suspect that this is anything less that what he described.
There was absolutely no advance warning. I drove the car home and parked it. Next morning ---- nothing. The car would not roll, even in neutral.
The mechanic said that he got it to barely go forward in "D", by flooring the gas....but still no reverse.
They found a used one for $400. with a 90 day warranty, and will install it.
The original $4,100 estimate was broken out as $3,000 for a "official SAAB" rebuilt tranny part, plus $1,100 dealership labor.
