I had my transmission fixed 2 years ago under warranty (dealer overlook obvious problem when took it for scheduled maintenance) and only labour portion of that repair was 2500 ,and part was about 800, and after that it runs great, so my advise is to make sure they do what it needs ..no short cuts or cutting around corner ..... Good luck. "J" <j2002nopsammail.net> wrote in message news:3c4c7353.18605104nopsam.erols.com... > Greetings. > > Until recently I was the proud owner of a 1989 Saab 900 with 118,000 > miles on it.
