well this one is a used tranny and hasn't proven to be that reliable. Also, the gulf-south isn't really a hotbed for saabs, so i don't know how easy it would be to find a used one
there are also other concerns...the car is leaking oil badly. i have a big cardboard box broken down and laying on the garage floor under the car and within the first week of it being there it was about 2/3 coated black. i had my trusty mechanic do a once-over before moving from New England and he said that (if i remember correctly) the head gasket is cracked, which is leaking oil into some other parts, and sooner or later it's going to cause those to fail, and when it does, it's going to get REALLY expensive to try and fix.
if i thought i could get the tranny replaced and it would solve all the problems, i'd do it in a heartbeat. but i think it's on its last legs anyway, so i don't want to throw "good money after bad."
