1988 Saab 9000 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Saab's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Saab? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your 9000 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 9000 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my 9000's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Saab 9000’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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Saab 9000? Yes. Saab 9000 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 9000 transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 9000 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a 9000 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 9000 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
