Saab Transmissions We Cover

Six Saab transmission families, all in stock and Shift-Tested. The earlier cars are genuinely Saab-specific; the later ones lean on GM and Aisin hardware, which makes them considerably easier to source — text us your VIN and we will confirm the exact match.

Used Saab F35 5-Speed Manual transmission
F35 5-Speed Manual
9-3, 9-5 (1998–2010). The volume Saab manual — Saab-specific hardware, so match by model and year rather than looking for a GM equivalent.
Used Saab F40 6-Speed Manual transmission
F40 6-Speed Manual
9-3 Aero, Turbo X, 9-3 XWD (2003–2011). The performance six-speed — XWD applications differ from FWD, so confirm the drivetrain.
Used Saab Aisin AF40 6-Speed Automatic transmission
Aisin AF40 6-Speed Automatic
9-3, 9-5 (2008–2011). The late Aisin six-speed — also used by Volvo and Opel, so donor supply is wider than Saab volumes suggest.
Used Saab GM5 5-Speed Automatic transmission
GM5 5-Speed Automatic
9-3, mid-2000s. GM's five-speed automatic in Saab application — the predecessor to the Aisin AF40 in the line.
Used Saab GM 4L70-E HD Automatic transmission
GM 4L70-E HD Automatic (9-7X)
9-7X Aero. The 9-7X is a rebadged TrailBlazer, so this is GM truck hardware — TrailBlazer SS donors fit and are far easier to find.
Used Saab CVT transmission
CVT (9-3)
9-3 (2003–2010, certain markets). Uncommon in North America — fluid service history matters far more than mileage on these.

Why Buy a Used Saab Transmission from Auto Power Source

Saab ended production in 2011, and for owners still running one the calculation has changed: dealer-new transmissions are largely unavailable, so used OEM is the practical route rather than the budget one. How hard a given unit is to find depends heavily on the era. The earlier cars — the 900 and the first-generation 9-3 and 9-5 — use genuinely Saab-specific hardware like the F35 and F25 manuals. The later cars lean on the wider parts bin: the Aisin AF40 was also fitted by Volvo and Opel, the GM5 is GM hardware, and the 9-7X is a rebadged Chevrolet TrailBlazer whose 4L70-E is shared with the TrailBlazer SS.

Our 126 verified Saab transmissions cover 1990–2011 across both eras. Every unit has been pulled from a low-mileage donor, cataloged by VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse. Each goes through our six-step inspection — VIN-matching, Shift-Testing through every forward and reverse gear under load, noise verification on the test stand, full visual inspection including pan and case, multi-angle photography for your approval, and palletized freight. Rejected units never reach the buyer.

You ship free on a heavy-duty pallet anywhere in the continental U.S., and get 30 days from delivery to return for any reason — no restocking fees. The warranty printed on the listing — with extended coverage up to 3 years available — covers you if anything goes wrong after install. Across 100K+ engines and transmissions in stock, we hold a 0% fitment-related return rate.

Your Saab Transmission Options: Compared

With the brand discontinued, Saab owners face a narrower set of choices than most:

← Swipe sideways to see all columns →
Option Cost Reliability Warranty Fitment Match
Used OEM (this collection) $$$ Best Value High — tested Included VIN-matched
New OEM (dealer) Largely unavailable High Manufacturer Exact
Rebuilt / Reman $$$$ Varies 6-12 mo May adapt
Junkyard $ Cheapest Unknown None DIY

On a discontinued brand, tested used OEM is usually the only route that comes with a warranty.

Saab Transmission Buying Guide

5 things to verify before buying a used Saab transmission:

  1. Establish which era your car is from. Early Saabs use Saab-specific gearboxes; 2003-onward cars use GM and Aisin hardware shared with other makes. This determines whether you are hunting a rare unit or a common one, and it is the first thing we check.
  2. FWD and XWD are not interchangeable. The 9-3 XWD and Turbo X use different output hardware from the FWD cars, with Borg-Warner components in the driveline. Always specify which you have — the F40 in particular was fitted to both.
  3. On the 9-7X, shop the TrailBlazer. The 9-7X is a rebadged Chevrolet TrailBlazer, so its 4L70-E is GM truck hardware and TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer SS donors fit. There are vastly more of those than there are 9-7X donors, which makes this the easiest Saab transmission to source.
  4. On the 9-3 CVT, service history matters more than mileage. These were never common in North America and are sensitive to fluid neglect. We stand-test every one and reject units showing belt slip or abnormal noise — ask for the test log before committing.
  5. Confirm the match with your own VIN before you order. Your VIN settles the transmission code, drivetrain and build split in one step. Text it to +1-307-441-5554 and we will confirm in writing exactly which unit fits your vehicle before you pay.

Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any unit ships.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the warranty on a used Saab transmission?
Every Saab transmission ships with a warranty included — the standard term follows the model year (1 month for 1990, 3 months for 1991–2000, 6 months for 2001 and newer) and is printed on each product page. Extended coverage of up to 3 years is available at checkout.
What does Shift-Tested mean?
ASE-certified technicians Shift-Test every transmission through all forward and reverse gears under load, verify clutch and lockup engagement, and check for leaks and pan debris before any unit ships.
How long until delivery?
Prep and ship time is 3-5 business days. Transit time is 2-3 business days after dispatch via freight carrier — typically 5-8 business days from order to delivery.
Can I see photos before I buy?
Yes. Multi-angle photos of the actual unit are sent before payment. If you do not approve the photos, you get every dollar back — no restocking fees, no return freight charges.
Can I still get parts for a discontinued Saab?
Yes. Saab ended production in 2011, and while the earlier cars are genuinely Saab-specific, the later ones lean heavily on GM — the 9-7X is a rebadged TrailBlazer and the 9-3 and 9-5 sit on GM platforms with Aisin and GM gearboxes. That widens the donor pool considerably for 2003-onward cars.
Do I need my VIN?
Yes — essential on Saab. The lineup splits between Saab-specific manuals, Aisin and GM automatics, and the GM truck hardware in the 9-7X, and FWD and XWD cars differ. Text your VIN to +1-307-441-5554 and we will confirm the exact unit.
Why cheaper than dealer new?
Used OEM from low-mileage donor vehicles. Saab ended production in 2011, so dealer-new units are largely unavailable — used OEM is the practical route for these vehicles.
When can I reach customer service?
Call 1-877-313-8995 or text +1-307-441-5554 during the business hours shown in the site footer, or email info@autopowersource.com any time.

Our 6-Step Inspection & Shipping Process

Every Saab transmission we ship has been through these six steps:

1. VIN-Matching
We match the donor VIN to your VIN to confirm case tag, drivetrain (FWD/XWD), final drive ratio, and bellhousing fitment.
2. Tested & Verified
ASE-certified technicians Shift-Test every forward and reverse gear under load, verifying clutch and lockup engagement.
3. Noise & Smoke Verification
Test-stand evaluation listens for bearing whine, clutch slip and unusual mechanical sound — CVT units get extra belt-noise inspection.
4. Visual Inspection
Every accessible component is inspected: pan, case, bellhousing, tailshaft, sensor harnesses, valve-body cover, vent.
5. Photograph & Catalog
Multi-angle photos sent to you BEFORE we ship for your approval.
6. Palletize & Ship
Strapped on a heavy-duty wooden pallet, shipped via freight at no charge.

Our Photos-Before-Shipment Guarantee

Before any transmission leaves our warehouse, we send you multi-angle photographs of the actual unit. You approve. If you do not approve, you get every dollar back — no questions, no restocking fees, no return freight charges. On top of 30-day money-back and the warranty included with every unit.
