Drove a Linear AUTO

The only problem that can occur
on some AUTO 2.3L 9-5s Aero and Linear
is idle vibration while in D.
This is hard to get rid of as it comes
from a combined idle and gearbox interaction,
but SAAB is working on this.
Very few 9-5s have this problem, but the 2002 Linear
I test drove had it and it reduces the quality feel of
the car. This could also have to do with the selected
ATFluid.
Otherwise the 5spd AUTO is a great AUTO gearbox.
I would say that if you get a Linear add a clause
to the contract that specifies no idle vibration
while stopped in D with a warm gearbox.
The stick will obviously not have this problem.
I also test drove 2000 and 2002 AUTO Aeros and
none of them had the idle vibration problem.
Regards,
Coolknight
