EpochNZ Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Sat down in the quiet part of the house tonight and proceeded to disassemble the gear lever housing. Luckily the only casualties are one of the internal rubber bushings and the internal pipe with the major bend in it. Seeing as I am bereft of major tools I might drop it in to an engineering shop or similar somewhere and get it straightened before getting the whole lot back together. Had to make a major saving throw against charisma when a voice boomed out "You do realise this is my sewing room?? MY Sewing room???" (Cheesy Smile +4) Then missed another lesser saving throw against dexterity when I sat on my grease rag while wearing my good work shorts.....crap.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's a no then Wish I'd bought that cheap one that was local to me way back then... but we all have stories like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 You have no idea how much I'm fizzing over this thing. Saabs are so fricken cool. My first car was an 80's 99 4 door in Tabasco red. I wish it was still in the family. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgweiser Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 On 4/15/2018 at 16:52, scooters said: I worked for Holden in ozz we had the Saab franchise as well. I did a clutch on on. Would be a ok job with all the service tools but had nothing. But the whole North South backwards engine thing is a real ball ache. Actually I think I just slipped a new friction plate in and called it quits. Because the gearbox would not move enough and the customer didn't want to pay to have the engine out. Still not real sure how it all works. As always there's a trick to it same with the later 900, if you have the correct tool to hold the clutch together when compressed it slides out after unbolting from flywheel. You need an assistant to push down clutch. Book time was 45 minutes for the whole job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 You sick man, I also have a 99 sedan and a 900 Aero coupe. These kick arse, I also have a load of NOS SAAB 99 bits and some secondhand bits- I know all the SAAB Barries/Bjorns 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Dad did a clutch job in my old 99 and he said it was the easiest clutch he's ever done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
