Reference: New update kit for manual transmissions
A manual transmission update kit to address various shifting complaints has been developed and added to our parts inventory. See details below. This kit fits the following models:
MY99 - MY01 9-3 up to and including VIN 12029080
MY99 - MY01 9-3 Convertible up to and including VIN 17007508
MY99 - MY01 9-5 up to and including 13025469
If you are rebuilding a transmission before these VINs for any reason, order and install this update kit, Saab P/N 54 40 516.
The first chart shows which parts included in the kit have been improved and, specifically, what the improvements address. The second chart shows a listing of the parts required during an update which are included in the kit. All 9-3 & 9-5 exchange transmissions are updated with the parts included in the kit.
If your customer's complaint is not listed in the first chart, it will likely be necessary to order additional parts to address that complaint since this kit was not developed to address every rebuild situation.
To repair the transmission, follow the instructions as described in WIS. After performing the update, the transmission must be marked with an A as illustrated in the Repair Kit Instruction (included with the kit).
