What I learned about Saab 5 speed trans rebuilding.

After having my transmission lockup solid after a recent rebuild I was definatly interested in finding the cause. After a teardown I discovered that 4th gear had welded itself to the sleve that it rides on in the trasmission.
After a lot of carefull cosideration I have decided that the reason this happened was that the assembly lube failed before the trans oil reached the sleeve.
The oil in a dry/refilled transmission has got to go through alot in order to reach the gear sleeves[picked up by spinning gear in the 5th gear housing, dumped into a tray, through a small hole in the input bearing housing into the chain case. Then the chaincase gets filled up to the point that the chain can pick up the oil and dum it into a tray in the chain housing and only then does it pour into the pinion shaft for the trip to the gear sleeves.
In any case I would recommend pre-filling the chain housing with a quart of gear oil before running the trans. I filled mine through the cover over the clutch shaft it was a little messy but I think it was well worth the effort.
