I have a 2004 9-3 Aero with an automatic transmission.  A couple weeks

I have a 2004 Saab 9-3 Linear with 68K.
I am hearing a humming/rumbling sound between 40-45 and 50-55mph.  If
I hit the brakes to slow down it goes away and if I accelerate out of
it, it goes away.  It sounds and feels like I am in too high of a gear

My speedometer stopped working, which also means my trip and Distance
traveled on the SID have ceased to function.  Is the speedometer

can we get some help to deal with list practices please?

shifter for C900s.  Is there anyplace else to get these?

The heater fan on my '99 9-5 SE (2.3l LPT) has gone intermittant - as

doesn't, I get a VERY low trickle of air from the vents I select.
I can use the ACC to change from floor to dash to windshield, and I can

Does anyone know how to check transmition fluid in a 2003 saab 9-3?

I currently own a 1998 9-5 2.3 Turbo, but am looking at a diesel for fuel economy (02
