Re: Strengthened Gearbox

The Classic 900 5-speed gearbox was refined and strengthened over the
years, but Saab certainly never said that it was good to 350 hp!
(besides, gearboxes are rated by the TORQUE they can carry).

The best candidate is a 1991 or later box.

If you mean final drives, that would be a very, very expensive custom
job. The pinion is the end of the main transmission shaft. Saab used
two ratios: 3.89:1 and 3.67:1 in the 5-speeds. There is some
compatibility across years, but I don't know exactly which year
pinions work in what year boxes. THe 3.67 was used in the mid-80s.
Before & after were the 3.89s.

The Saab dealers here in the USA get more then US$700 for the ring &*
pinion set for the 5-speed.
