I just purchased a used '99 Saab 95 with 95000 miles on it. There are no service records for it and I have done some of the easy services (changed oil, oil filter, gas filter). Any suggestions on what else should be done? The car also has the common reverse problem... (tranny doesnt want to go into reverse...) sometimes it flows right in (seems like only on Februrary 29ths though), but most of the time it takes a minute or two of shifting around, trying to get it to pop in. The transmission runs amazingly well so I dont think its worn out or anything, and I have heard It is commonly a linkage problem. Anyone know how much it would cost to have this fixed? Thanks a lot.
