Hi,
I have a Saab 9-3 1.9TiD 150bhp which has a 6-speed gearbox. The car is only 11 months old and recently changing gear from 1st to 2nd has become a bit of a chore.
The gear change does not slip into second, you have to pull it into second. This only occrs going from 1st to 2nd when up-changing, no other gear is affected... I went to my local Saab dealer to get this checked out and they informed me that this was a "characteristic" of this particular gearbox and that there was nothing that they could do about this. I was pretty scepticle about this so I called Saab UK Technical Services to double check my dealer, but to my surprise they confirmed this was a known "characteristic".
Apparently no damage is being done to the gearbox, hence this is not classified as a fault, so Saab will not do anything about this. It will be checked as part of the scheduled service, but basically I have to live with this annoyance.
I haven't seen anyone else complain about this "characteristic" and just wanted to know if other owners are having the same issue and if have been lucky enough to get this issue resolved to their satisfaction.
Thanks!
Stefan.
