Questions About 2005 Saab 9-5’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Saab's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Saab 9-5? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your 9-5 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 9-5 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my 9-5's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Saab 9-5’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Saab's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Saab 9-5 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Saab 9-5 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Where can I get my  Saab 9-5 transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 9-5 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Saab 9-5 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
