I assume that you replaced the radiator, or had the trans cooler replaced, since that is how coolant gets into the trans. If this is what happened, the coolant becomes emulsified with the trans fluid, it caused a major mess inside the transmission. Just changing the fluid is not the fix. You will either have to have the trans removed, disassembled, and thoroughly cleaned and rebuilt,or replace it.

Take out plugs and check if is any water inside(if is a big leek it will show you),check inside cabine radiator!

SOURCE: how do I replace my 2004 Saab 9 3 linear's water pump.

Re : the computer , they better cover it under warranty or they ****.
Re : the water pump , you have a leak and they say it is the water pump , I have no reason to doubt that they have honestly checked out the problem and determined that a new water pump is the only solution but , damn $ 1000 is pretty steep. I would look around for another mechanic for a second opinion and a quote. Avoid dealerships. Not sure what engine you have but i just looked in my saab with a 2.3 and hope I never have to do mine. I am pretty good with a wrench but I know there would be lots of swearing involved.

Saab 93 runs hot no leaks and fan works is this a sign of a weak gasket. there is no oil in coolant and no signs of water on the dipstick

While there are a variety of reasons your Saab 9-3 is overheating, the most common 3 are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.

Hi Buckbird, Take the vehicle for a diagnostic scan. The signal means that he on board diagnostics have picked up a fault! Maybe the transmission oil is low. Reduce speed advises you to get to your dealer or diagnostic center at a low gentle speed. Regards Johngee10

its a play on words.....when you say flush,you mean pump trans oil in and let it run to clean out any gunk inside the box.SAME AS emptying and refilling with a filter change.(when you flush a cooling system you fix a garden hose to the lower heater hose and remove the rad cap,thats a real flush.......reverse flow.)

1997 saab 4 cyl non turo give check gearbox light

Take it back to the Dealer........Their Problem not yours.
It is possible that a plug was removed during the service and at some stage the ignition was switched on before the plug was reconnected , this would cause a check light and the computer would store this until the light was reset.
Hope this helps.

2004 Saab 9-3 Aero. Coolant tank and car beginning to not start.

coolant is what makes the car keep cool. it wouldnt keep it from running. sounds like a gas problem. check the fuel pressure and check all the fuel compartments. take it to a mechanic.. not Saab. they will do it for cheap maybe nothing.
