Whatever car, I just thought if this old bastard will cost 200k CZK, we could buy some small city car without any problems for next two three years. They have nothing, anybody, it's a weak box of shitty interior for such money. And if other tired mum drives into me in an SUV, my kids might simply disappear. And to buy something fancier/bigger/stronger would mean just waiting for the problems again. Saab is the devil we know. But first, new transmission.
I wish it was cheap enough to fly me over and replace the transmission for you. Saab is a bit odd with some of their stuff, but the bones are not too hard to work on.
A good used transmission should be easy to find. Definitely take care of other things like the main seals in the area while everything is apart. (Rear main, output shaft seals, dipstick o-ring is often forgotten if it has one)
I wish in general if it would be easier to travel and buy from US...
Despite all the shit you have still so much cheaper many many things. But of course we basically live in 19. century merkantilism, so it can't be allowed to purchase cheaper things from abroad.
there is quite strong saab community in CR and Poland, too. I bet there is a way to get parts for a reasonable price if You try.
I know. We have three of them and husband never had anything else.😀
