Subject: 9-5 transmission problem(s)


Hello good folks of this Saab NG: Our 1999 Saab 9-5 SE auto trans had started making whirring and occasional buzzing noises about 2 weeks ago. Fluid was checked and deemed to be at proper level. There was no smell of anything burnt. I was going to have it addressed at the 80,000 mile service due soon. As it is my wife's car and she commutes to/from work only about 7 miles each way and not driven hard, I did not expect the worst. However, I had to drive it today because of additional passengers that my 9-3 would not accomodate and under load the 9-5 started smoking very badly from the tailpipe, and the vehicle was obviously losing power in the drive line. Has anyone had this unfortunate experience? Is my tranny fried? Is R/R a DIY job? If the tranny is a loss, can anyone offer a good source for a quality rebuilt unit? Also, please see my other post regarding no heater fan on this same 9-5. Thank you to all respond. Rich Gostenik Owner Green Diamond Tire - West Green Diamond Tire / E-Commerce
