story:
few weeks ago my 9000 went in for service. I chose a local shop for my new Saab. THe speedometer stopped working just prior so i asked them to research the problem. I went to pick it up and the manager said the interior spinal gear was torn and needs a complete tranny teardown. "It only happens to one or two customers per year" he said. The result, a $1200 labor bill. As I was leaving he also stated "don't let anyone just change the exterior speedo gear" because it will not fix the problem.
Well, i searched this fine board and found the service bulletin over on Townsend Imports site. Sure enough, my VIN was listed so i orded the $17 part from a dealership. Following directions from previous posts i changed it within an hour.
Guess what, three weeks and a few thousand miles later my speedo works fine.
This was my FIRST and LAST trip to those guys located in Durham, NC. So do yourself a favor and find another shop.
$1200-$17= $1183 savings (thanks everyone!!!!)
