1996 Saab 9000 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Saab's brakes? 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.
  • What can I tow in a Saab? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 9000’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my 9000 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1996 9000’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 my Saab 9000 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Saab 9000, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who can fix my  Saab 9000 transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 9000 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Saab 9000 if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your 9000 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.
