'06 9-3 tid gearchange

[ourchris]

Hello all,

I have a manual 9-3, and the gearchange has gone a bit "stiff"....

The gears are easy enough to select, but the self centering has gone, and you have to guide the gears in. I assume that the cables have gone sticky, or become mal-adjusted. Question us, what do I need to do to rectify this ?

Thanks

Ourchris

you need a new gear change houseing. Once they go stiff in the side to side movement then its had it. Sorry for the bad news

I've just had this done on mine - was quoted £320 but it was paid for as a goodwill guesture by Saab warranty even though mine's out of warranty on both age and mileage.
