Just finished swapping my loudly whining tranny on my '86 900T with my '87 900T parts car successfully (so far, so good!). Now I have a car with just a little tranny whine :) We'll see how long this used tranny lasts, but at 255k miles, it's just too old to drop serious $$ into, but it's hard 'cause I just love the car. And I had picked up the parts car for $100. Also, I think that my wife is over my love of old Saabs, she's done with not being able to park in the garage. So I have my fingers crossed.
After going for a test run, I thought that my headgasket went south because I opened up the hood and there was coolant sprayed everywhere, which I thought was coming from overpressurized coolant blowing out of the cap. However, I found a rip/hole in one of the coolant lines (even though they all are almost new), and it doesn't pressurize after a few minutes when cold. In addition, the oil looks fine. However, I did pull my plugs and one did seem a lot cleaner than the others so I'm not totally confident :(
So now my turbo is back on the road, after only sitting in the garage for over a year. I've been driving my '92 900 cvt., but it's not a turbo so no fun for me. Of course, the rest of the car is showing it's age, but I'm just addicted to turbos. I'm sure that now I'll tweak the APC, etc., and blow this turbo 'cause I just can't help myself.
Now I just got to see how it does on emissions.
Cheers,
