Replacing transmission.
Posted by Philip Hult (more from Philip Hult) on Mon, 6 Dec 1999 10:52:05
The time has come. The pinion bearing on the 5spd tranny in my 90 9000 CD Turbo is grinding. As I get my checkbook out, and am reminded of how much I hate doing this, I thought I'd throw a question to the masses.
Since I am having the tranny replaced ($2k), I'll be having the clutch serviced (new plate, spring etc..), since my mechanic is already down there ($250). Additionally, I recently replaced the clutch master cylinder and noticed that the fluid was pretty dirty, so I figure it may make sense to change the slave cylinder too, ($150). Any one else have any other thoughts/additions to the to-do list?
Also, does anyone know where I can get a rebuilt from somewhere other than SAAB, (I'd hate to give them $1650!).
Thanks.
