Questions About 1997 Saab 900’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Saab? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Saab 900? 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. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Saab. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Saab 900 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Saab 900 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.
  • Who can fix my  Saab 900 transmission leak? 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? Driving your 900 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
