    I would recommend spraying the area around the dipstick with Brake Cleaner to avoid dirt and debris from falling into the filler hole when you pull the dipstick out.

    Toyota Type 4 is a great way to go if you have the 5AT because it is relatively cheap and readily available for most people, Do not use on the 6AT like in the Aeros etc. They call for AW-1 and not 3309.I have done several drain and refills with the Toyota Type 4 with no issues on my 08 93 2.0T with 5AT. This transmission is made by Aisin(Toyota)
    and is near bulletproof if properly cared for.

    WIS (online Saab maintenance manual) says to check the fluid level while the car is running. I missed that the first time and I checked while the car was cold and off. My dipstick showed that it was overfilled a bit past the hot marker so I drained some fluid out. This caused my car to shift poorly and with some noise. After adding back the fluid I drained out and checking the dipstick while the car was running (but not warm, just running a minute or so after being off all night) the dipstick showed just above the cold marker so pretty much perfect, and my car is now shifting better with the new fluid and the proper amount!

    Great video, Jacob! Now I'm really concerned, since my 2010 now has 96,000 mi on it, and much like my Haldex system, I have no record of what was changed or when, by the previous owner! I do know that the dealer changed the engine oil, before I picked the car up, and when I do the next oil change, it's getting Amsoil signature series 0w30 synthetic. I'm a lifetime dealer, since 1980, and that oil is amazing! I might even gain a few miles per gallon, since XWD kills about 4 MPG. Thanks to GM for not putting a normal dipstick on our cars! You have no idea how your videos have helped me! Thank you much! I really want to keep this XWD around a long time, so I will dig in!

    Have a 9-3 2004 convertible. Bought 2nd hand. Only has 70,000 miles on it. Almost got talked into replacing the transmission. Did change the fluid, but was still having problems. One transmission flush has greatly improved it’s performance. Hoping one last one will bring it back to perfection. Saab owner since 2001. Wish the dip stick was as easy as the oil one is. Your video was great and filled me with more know how than I had before.

    Hopefully this weekend I'll be switching over to Amsoil signature series synthetic tranny fluid. Fortunately, Amsoil sells flex packs for tight areas. Like quart size CapriSun type containers with a spout. Squeeze it in! No muss, no fuss! it will be an expensive flush, even at my cost, being an Amsoil dealer, but it is one of the best fluids you can buy, and Saab is worth it! I also have an Amsoil oil change 0w30 sitting on my dining room floor, for my 2010 and 5w20 for my wife's Subaru. Busy weekend ahead! Did I mention a full Haldex service kit sitting there as well? I don't know why they didn't use the flex pack? Rather than buy a pump, maybe I can reuse the amsoil flex packs to get the oil into the Haldex XWD unit. And, I work 2 jobs! Not enough hours on the clock!

      @nolanpratt4291 3 года назад +1

      I would agree, flush can be a a dirty word (for several reasons) on a poorly maintained transmission, but no fluid will last forever so what can you do? I suggest the drain and refill method like done in this video, so as not to completely shock the system or knock deposits loose. transmission fluid is highly detergenated to suspend the impurities.I get 3.5 qts out, every drain of my 5 AT which is less than 50% of the overall capacity. I drain and refill and and drive for a week or month and let the new detergented fluid do its thing and wait before repeating, so I'm not just draining the good clean fluid back out immediately trying to get it to theoretical 100% fresh which takes minimally 3 to 4 drain and fills. I have personally used this method on my 200K plus 2.0T 5 AT with no issues using Toyota Type 4.

    • @dandyfi4076
      @dandyfi4076 3 года назад +1

      @@nolanpratt4291 Sounds like a good approach, but, some have pointed out that with an AT at least, that as the clutches and what not wear over time they can start to slip if the fluid is too slippery, ie 100% new, which will damage the transmission. There needs to be the proper amount of friction for an AT to function properly.

    • @AutoAutopsy

      Interesting! Well I ended up only doing it once (still some old fluid in there) and it’s shifting like butter haha

    • @nolanpratt4291
      @nolanpratt4291 3 года назад +4

      @@dandyfi4076 I've seen this arguement from several reputable sources, but if you are at the point where your wet clutches are only gripping because the fluid is so full of clutch grit, then your transmission is living on borrowed time because all of its many bearings are being lubricated with that same gritty fluid. I have literally seen people with less than a 100K who are terrified to to touch their transmission fluid, so I think it is a debate worth having. Start the drain and fill schedule before its too late. If someone has a really high mileage transmission with no history, then maybe do a partial drain and fill and keep the old fluid to put it back in if needed so you don't have to get a tow to the transmission shop. in my mind the point is to develop a healthy view towards the ease and relative low cost of keeping fresh transmission fluid in yourSaab. These 5 speed Aisin transmissions in the 93s have a great track record, just don't ignore them.Thanks for the reply.

    If you just drain it and refill, you should do that at least 3 times to replace the majority of the oil. Remember that only a bit drains out this way, most will still reside in the matrix (I know When you just drain the automatic box on a Volvo 940, only 2 liter of the total of 7 liters is coming out) There are better ways to replace all the oil at once, but that involves a more time consuming proces.

    Hi. Thanks (again :-) for a super good video on how to do an ATF change. I am planning to do one myself, and I was wondering if anybody has tried using a vacuum pump for getting the ATF out? It seems like an easy way to get the job done. I will refill using a 12 mm (or so) aluminum pipe with a funnel on top. I will repeat 3 times x 3 litres approx- and if the vacuum method only draws out a small amount of ATF, I will get down under the car and use the drain plug instead :-)

      Could be worthwhile to have the latest update. Correction of these issues often requires a simple software update, meaning the vehicle only needs to be plugged in, and the transmission controller receives new programming meant to fix these drivability concerns. It could also be a mechanical ahift solenoid, but the software is your best choice because to my knowledge, the parts aren't sold anymore. Anyways good luck, friend..​@piotrkazmierczak8482

    I didn't follow that rule an a 2003 Audi TT with 120000 miles. The tranny started slipping a couple years later but the mileage put on in that time was low, less than 15k.

    A couple of additional thoughts. From what I remember the check is supposed to be done with the engine idling. I am wondering if you were reading the dipstick correctly? The cold range is the area with four level marks below the word COLD and the hot area are the four marks below the word HOT on the dipstick. Depending on the fluid temperature the level should be WITHIN those four marks. For a cold check your level seems to be too high?

      A simple drain and refill is all that's necessary. A complete flush, especially on a higher mileage transmission, could be problematic.

    • @nolanpratt4291
      @nolanpratt4291 3 года назад +2

      Once you pull out the drain plug 3.5 qts are coming out in a hurry! Using a glove, MAYBE you could sowly back out the drain plug and hold it like a cork as you hit the last thread and then thread it back in just enough to hold and still get a slow drizzle. (has worked for me on other drain plugs but never tried on the transmission, the drizzle could take half an hour to yield a quart) For sure you could use a hand vacuum pump or an electric fluid pump with a small enough hose down through the dipstick hole. Most hand vacuum pumps come with a very small resevoir but I just make my own larger resevoir out of a large water bottle with a suction line and vacuum line (like 1/4" clear hosing, cheap food grade hosing ) drilled through the cap so you don't have to empty the resevoir ten times. If you have the 6AT, the fill plug is accessed from the top usually without even having to remove the battery tray. With any of these methods, if you are not confident in your ability to check the level after you drain, take it out cold and replace it cold with the exact same volume . The 5 AT is easier to check because it actually has a dipstick. The 6AT has a more complicated overflow tube system to ensure the proper volume.

    • @nolanpratt4291
      @nolanpratt4291 3 года назад +1

      Sorry I misunderstood your question, I thought you only wanted to get that much out period. You have to repeat this process minimally 3or 4 times to get near to all new. I think the math is wrong here anyway, its about 3.5 qts per drain and over 7qts total capacity or the 5 AT

    • @BradDelaney
      @BradDelaney 3 года назад +1

      Check in the compartment on the left side of your trunk. There should be two fiber wires and another set of wires zip tied to the rear driver wheel well. If so, you can find an Arc or an Aero at a salvage yard and take Amp2, the two 6x9s, and the two rear tweeters. Make sure you get the connector that connects the tweeters to the existing 4 1/2” rounds - you will need that - and you will need to remove the rear driver pillar cover and remove the entire rear speaker harness. This is plug and play into the rear fuse box area. To complete the 13 speaker “prestige” package, you will also need the two front tweeters in the left and right side of the dash. To remove and reinstall these, the best way I’ve found is to use a T20 bit with lock pliers. The windshield is too close to get any other tools in there.
      When you remove the amp2 in the salvage car, it’s almost guaranteed that you’re going to end up having to break the little clip that holds the two fiber wires together. You can order it from essabparts. Part number 12791220
      Once you get everything installed, you’ll need to activate “prestige audio” and “amp2” inside the ICM settings with a Tech2. There’s a directory of people with Tech2s in the saabscene forum. Just search around and you’ll find it. Any authorized service center can do it as well.
      Hope this helps!

Love to know what tranny fluid others have successfully used on the 9-3 2.8 turbo v6 …hope this helps track down your hard shifting.
