Presumably this is on a car which has an automatic transmission? Because auto's are dependent on more things to transmit the energy from the engine's crankshaft to the wheels, there's more that can go wrong... My current car is an 1982/83 900S with an auto, and on very cold mornings, the auto slips noticably when moving off in an uphill direction. It appears like one of the bands plays up in cold weather, but I've never had the engine out of the car in the two years I've owned it so the tranmission hasn't been fully-serviced in that time either. The auto transmission will be coming out as soon as possible to put a rebuilt manual transmission in. Also, if the torque converter section has leaks, or some of the internal valving isn't seating or opening properly, the transmission will behave like it's shedding power and either do nothing or produce very little output with increasing engine revs. Regards, Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page --> http://nospam/~c900 Sydney, NSW Australia Craig's Saab C900 Workshop -- For all Saab C900 Enthusiasts world-wide! http://www.nospam.net http://www.nospam c900nospam.apana.org.au Come and explore our site, and check out our web-forums, mailing list, etc.
