Car Forum / Saab Cars / March 2005reverse gear saab 900
I've almost lost reverse in my Saab 900(1996). Sometimes it takes as long as 3 or 4 minutes to engage, then it slips in as sweet as a nut! Anyone got any info please Banto Salutations: > I've almost lost reverse in my Saab 900(1996). Sometimes it takes as > long > as 3 or 4 minutes to engage, then it slips in as sweet as a nut! Anyone > got > any info please > Banto Reverse is a straight cut gear - sometimes you double clutch assuming nothing is loose or gummy in the gate. Moving it into third then reverse will help if there is something amiss in the gate.

I thought they changed the manual transmission in the NG Saabs. I drove a 1998 900 and it had a different shifter/transmission than the Classic. > I've almost lost reverse in my Saab 900(1996).

Mine have said that if you have a problem putting it in reverse, put it in first and then try reverse again. Sorry, it's manual. I've tried going thro' the other gears first but there's not an obvious shift that makes any difference. Many thanks nevertheless > I've almost lost reverse in my Saab 900(1996).

The garage welded it back and all was well. > Sorry, it's manual. I've tried going thro' the other gears first but > there's not an obvious shift that makes any difference.
