We dive into some Saab transmission lore in this video. A brief overview of the key differences in the FM55 transmissions you’ll find in the Saab 900/9-3 ranging from years 1998-2003.

On top of that, we talk shift alignment. I was having a difficult time aligning mine and the issue was much simpler than I made it out to be.

Key details:

– different rear engine mount bracket location and design

– lower cover difference

– Different shifter support location

– Final drive

– differential/axle seal housing differences

– intermediate shaft I.e F25 vs F35

– alternative clutch pipe to OEM

– modifying your hub carrier for FM35 style axles and the abs bracket

shift alignment procedure

With regards to the shift issue, I was specifically dealing with excessive side to side play. Essentially, I was getting too much movement without successfully being able to select certain gears. If I adjusted the shifter more to one side, I was able to catch 3rd through reverse while if I adjusted to the other side I could successfully catch 1-5 with no reverse.

The issue ended up being the linkage under the shifter assembly. An area I had already performed upgrades and maintenance. Learn from my mistakes and stop shifting like shit!

Thanks for checking out the video. This was the first with the mic. Hope the audio is better for you guys. Feel free to message me with any questions at all and thanks for checking this out. Hope this video helps someone who is also having shifter issues or just general transmission inquiries.

Stay Saabin’
