4/28/2013 JimmP0730 Incorrect Gear Ratio = the difference between the input speed and output speed (speed of the vehicle) is more than 10% above the gear ratio for more than 5 seconds.
You should first try to look if the solenoids are working properly. Check the transmission solenoid's wires and harness. Check the entire harness. Maybe you will have to remove the Trans oil pan to see the solenoids. There is also an access plate on the transmission which can be removed for inspection.
Here is the rebuilding diagram for the AW5042LE transmission; www.transtec.com/tech_insert/94659.pdf

3/17/2013 spanionneoYou need Texaco Texamatic Dexron III trans fluid.
If you're flushing the whole transmission, you'll be needing 10.5 liters. But if you're only changing gear box fluid, then 3.3 liters...... Again, i would use common sense over technical data...O and do not use synthetic trans oil in your car...it's a no no.

I have had nothing but problems out of this car! Newest issue, gear shift will not come out of the Park position. Ideas?rpilgreen - 2001 Saab 9-3 - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 12/30/2012In the time I've had this car, it has been one problem after another..the newest issue is the gear shift will not come out of the park position. The car is still drivable, you have to push a safety release button (?) on the shift bezel to put it in gear. Any ideas??

Car stops shifting into gear while driving. Had to switch off and select a gear then switch on in that gear to drive.hmaq - 2002 Saab 9-3 - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 11/15/2012Shifting normalizes for a while. Problem went away for a few days then resurfaces. Now problem resumes more frequently and normalizes for a thirty minutes of driving before shifting becomes impossible while driving. -
