Yeah, you might want to get your old transmission rebuilt so it's available if your modifications "blow" your current replacement, too!

I know that ZZP posted up some stuff about there tranmissions on cobaltss.net.

With the future of Saab uncertain, it's wise to take good care of the transmission.
