    Thanks, I'll PM him. The Google search (thanks for the link, I'm not trying to be lazy) was way too ambiguous. -

    Saab 9-7x AWD problems

    Lemme try one more time, LOL. This time, with no links. On an older thread, I saw you and someone named "RayVoy" discussing this same topic. He mentioned a Chrysler additive that he used in conjunction with a rear LSD fluid change, and then he would drive tight figure eights to loosen up the...

    Test post EDIT - Oh, I think I see my posting problem. I am trying to quote "the roadie", and in there is a hyperlink. I am guessing his link (to the owner manual) is blocking my posts.

    Saab 9-7x AWD problems

Also, can I change this fluid in my driveway? (man, I miss the old days when I had 5 lifts under my...

    Saab 9-7x AWD problems

    Yes, the trans shop guy pulled the cover. But he did not remove the clutch packs (two, I believe) for thorough inspection. He seemed to think it might be difficult to locate replacement clutch packs. But the vehicle is doing a lot of whining, and it really does feel like full-time 4WD is...

    Saab 9-7x AWD problems

    Heya 'roadie', many thanks for the reply. I am 'eshanon's' Dad. When this problem originally cropped up, I did some research and ended up replacing the encoder motor. This seemed to work for a while. But now, after numerous visits to local Saab/GM dealer and to a very experienced transmission...
