thanks biggles i was thinking about the gearbox on the coupe today funnilly enough. gona remove it soon for the lightweight flywheel.

minto if your mate hasnt allready replaced his flywheel tell him to get a LUK flywheel and clutch. most vag cars have sachs units which are crap.
when i worked for skoda (volkswagens really) i must have replaced 150 flywheels. 95% of these were sachs, the luks are better made.

Got a dual mass flywheel on my saab which is starting to fail - part of the reason I'm getting rid of it! Cost to replace is over £1k so bye bye Saab. Mind you I'm not entirely sure why they use them on Coupes as they are normally fitted to high-torque diesel engines to even out the torque pulse imbalance. From what I've heard there's even less of a requirement to have one on a V6 petrol engine due to the smoother power flow so lord only knows why they put them on!

I'm glad I randomly found this vid as I'm thinking of tackling the clutch job myself this summer and would have probably had many hours of cursing and swearing trying to get the thing off! I know on some pull type clutches you can slide the lever pin out of the bell housing. Think thats true for a lot of Japanese performance cars.

Saab was a 9-3 TiD -in other words a poorly built GM vectra with a Saab badge on it. There isn't anything good to say about that car really and I would happily push it off a cliff if I could. Everything had broken on it and I was spending £400 a month at one point keeping it going. Everything was a "common" problem, and I mean everything. Came back to Hyundai after I had a gen 1 but sold it to buy the Saab. Never been happier with my gen 3 even though there are niggles it costs me pennies compared to the Saab and I can fix most things myself. I turn the key and feel that the thing will start and not cost me £400 every time I drive it.

On my Saab I had:

EGR Failure
Intercooler cracked
Intercooler hose split
Cracked springs
Ignition switch module failed
Leaking fuel pump
Turbo seals gone
MAF sensor failed
Steering lock failure
Seized top strut bearings that eventually failed
Perished vacuum hoses
Pealing dash

and those are just off the top of my head and I'm sure there is more! Any little thing the EML came on and cost stupid amounts to put right. The whole car was a FAIL as well as the Saab brand.

My old coupe had:

Rear drop links

Thats about it! But it looks like my gen 3 has clunking drop links now but at least its not going to make me re-mortgage my house to fix it!
