Its cool I know how that gets.

Btw we dropped the tranny but it turns out the shop we got the clutch kit from didn't include an alignment tool in the kit. Should have everything buttoned up by tomorrow night, I'll post a pic or two

 

Hit a snag, the top filler plug on the tranny has been stripped out. Any ideas on how to remove it?

 

I wouldn't recommend drilling it. That's the form factor on it? I don't remember whether it's a bolt or a plug with a torx head.

 

Its a Torx head for some reason. Would we be ok removing the "check plug" on the side of the tranny and pumping fluid in through there? Would we be able to get enough oil in?

 

Try to take a bigger torx head and hammer it into the plug. It should catch enough to get it open.

 

Got it, good call on the larger torx head. Thank you

The Saab is back together and drives great btw.

 

Hiya I'm broke student at a university and my brother gave me his saab 900, its 1997 with a 2.3 and 4 doors.
First gear is fine, second the clutch plate slips for a second then catches, same with 3rd 4th and 5th, when im going up the ramp to get on the interstate and im in 5th i cant accelerate and i feel the clutch slipping. (not to mention the smell). Once of go going there is no slipping while driving, its just when accelerating.
I have very little money so I am going to have to resolve this on my own.
PS. I cant figure out how to set the cruise control.

Thanks in advance

 

You flip cruise 'on' and than press the side of the stalk. There's a button there.

As far as the clutch goes, have you ever done a clutch job yourself? It's not difficult, just heavy at times. Nothing that can't be done at home though. http://photo.platonoff.com/Auto/2006...ssion_Removal/ this is how you remove the tranny. Than replace the clutch and installation is reverse of removal...

 

well i have no more clucth and I have no manual, whats involved in replacing it?
