1984 Saab 900 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Saab's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Saab tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 900’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my 900's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Saab 900’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Saab, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Saab 900 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Saab 900 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who does Saab 900 transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 900 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Saab 900 if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your 900 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
