They're often easy to notice. Saab 9000 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

Questions About 1990 Saab 9000’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Saab? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Saab tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. 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.
  • Does my 9000's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Saab 9000’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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
