Steve, here's the deal. For reasons no one knows the Saab C900 with automatic trans. has detent at both the gearbox and the shift lever. (One would do the job). If they are not 'synchronized' then the shift lever detent will override the gearbox detent and potentially put the transmission into 3rd and 2nd gears at the same time by placing the "manual valve" within the trans. halfway between 2nd and 3rd. That causes the clutches to apply and release at a 'vibrational' rate and shortly thereafter the planetary gear train sheds teeth. The test and procedure for correct adjustment is just more than I want to type in here (believe it or not). Best bet is to go to a dealer or indy who has the Saab book and sweet talk them into making you a copy of those 2 pages from service manual section 4. If you are buying parts there ask the parts guy to do it. As a last resort e-mail me and I'll try to fax them to you. Cheers.
