hmmm...stuck in reverse?.....as the gear shift will not Posted by DougM [Email] (#211) [Profile/Gallery] (more from DougM) on Sun, 26 Oct 2003 16:41:10 In Reply to: questions about potential 99 purch, scott k., Sun, 26 Oct 2003 14:33:44 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
move or engage any other gears? Will the car move in reverse? Does the tranny make noises if you try to move it? If it has been sitting a long time the brakes may be seized. Maybe the problem lies in the shifter assembly? Hard to diagnose over the internet without looking at it myself.
Where are you located? The internet is a great source to find parts and meet people who have parts. I have restored two 99's in the last 2 years(yes, I'm addicted) and have had good luck finding what I need through some of the site sponsors........thesaabsite.com has a good on-line catalog of parts still available.
$300 sounds like a good price....even if it needed a tranny....and you had a spare 4spd laying around. I have been into them for 20 years, so I can easily make that statement, as I have a ton of used parts on hand if I need them.......and NO!!!, I do not sell parts.:)
I have a few thousand pics on-line if you have a spare evening and want to look at them, but they are mostly of the early models as my two are a 73 and a 75.(link below)
Blue and Black are my two......
