Not a bad deal Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Engine Oil, saab tiage, Wed, 23 Mar 2005 13:11:56 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
You could have spent $6K and still get a car that needs a new DI. As to the tranny, it might be as simple as a problem in the valve body. That is good news, because you can pull off the valve body in about 15 minutes. It just sits on top of the tranny, under the battery box. When transmissions shift hard and slip, that's a sign that a rebuild is in order. Just not knowing to shift may be as simple as broken springs in the valve body or blown govenor seals, both replaceable with the tranny in place.
When replacing the valve cover gasket, spend a few extra bucks and get yourself a new upper chain guide - it fits into the underside of the valve cover. Easily slips in and out. And set the engine to TDC cylinder #1, and check the alignment of the timing marks on the cams. That will give you an idea of the condition of the timing chain. That, and looking at it when the valve cover is off.
