I know pinion bearings are inclined to go around 120k, but don't know about autoboxes. Of course, I'd get a second opinion, most of the cost is labour, and expensive at that, I don't know where in the UK you are, but I had my manual trans done at about 120k (pinion bearings) 9 hours labour, misc parts, bill of around 400 quid. This was at an independant place local to me. Depends whether you're set on a main dealer job, if you are, it'll cost you... If you're in the south east / london area, I can recommend the guy who did mine... - Mark. >what I don't get is that for £1300.00 the tranny isn't a new one anyway. >The dealer will send my one back to Sweden, and Saab will repair it. > >They will then send another reconditioned one in its place which is >fully guaranteed. > > >Anyne else ever experienced this??? > >Regards Farhan > > > > >In article <i1JHmAA3dTp2Ew$bnopsaml-x-optician.demon.co.uk>, Farhan >Ebrahimjee <Farhannopsaml-x-optician.demon.co.uk> writes >>Hiya guys.. >> >>My baby has just stopped and after having it hauled of the motorway and >>to a saab dealer, they told me there is no pressure in the autobox. >> >>A reconditioned tranny will cost 1350 Uk pounds, labour of 9 hours at 55 >>Uk pound per hour and misc parts for 100 uk pounds. >> >>Total Bill = Just over £2000.00 (approximately $3200) >> >>Can anyone give me any advice or help??? >> >>Should I get the car independently inspected in case the garage is >>running rings around me?? >> >>Does anyone know a good UK dealer that is good at fixing these >>problems?? >> >>Is it common for the trans to go at 120k?? >> >>Thank you all in advance >> >>Farhan >> >>900S 16V (late '89) >> >> > >-- >Farhan Ebrahimjee
