2001 Saab 9-5 3.0t Manual Swap (i'm doing it)
So I have found this in the forums:
Swaping completed
Everything works fine except Cruise control. Of course AT failure light is on
Engine managment control module works great.
ESP and ABS module also works, same as speedometer.
Parts list :
- Flywheel from Opel Omega 3.0 V6 (X30XE)
- Clutch plate and cover plate from same as above
- Gearbox FM55 from SAAB 95 2.3 AERO with slave cylinder
- Gearbox assembly parts from any SAAB 95 M/T version
- Drive shafts weren't changed
- Gear **** with ignition switch module from any SAAB 95 M/T ver.
- Clutch and brake pedals from any SAAB 95 M/T ver.
- Clutch pump from any SAAB 95 M/T ver.
Now it's time to work with control modules - I've found a person who told me that this is not a problem to use TECH2 and make everything works proper.
I'll let You know when it will be finished
And I have in my driveway a 2001 9-5 wagon with a 3.0t and a bad reverse gear. I prefer manuals anyway, and as a result, I want to do this swap. I'm working on procuring all the other parts (gearbox, linkages and such) but I don't know what to do about the flywheel and clutch. I also am interested in this last line about a tech2 to get the management modules working correctly so that cruise control and the dummy lights will work correctly (not a big deal for me, but if I ever go to sell this thing I want it feeling like a from factory option). I know I want a manual transmission gauge cluster, but I don't know what the TECH2 he refers to is.
So what I'm asking is for information. What flywheel should be used since I can't get the opel one? Will a 2.4t flywheel work? or do they have different bolt patterns or balancing weights? What is this TECH2 he refers to?
