Re: [MBZ] '83 Saab worth more than almost any Mercedes
Not the regular clutch, there was a lever that engaged an overrunning clutch on the transmission so that the transmission couldn't push the engine. IIRC freewheel is what it was actually called. -Curt On Tuesday, February 13, 2024 at 11:21:04 AM EST, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: I assume the free wheel device is the clutch?

Re: [MBZ] '83 Saab worth more than almost any Mercedes
Saab had the key switch between the seats for a long, long time. When I was shopping TDIs back in 2013 I drove one. I think it was one of the GM made models, probably early 2000s. It drove well, felt like a Saab but missed that special something of Saabness. Got it back to the little dealer and couldn't figure how to get the key out of the ignition. I knew there was a trick but I hadn't driven a Saab in so long that I couldn't remember what the trick might be and I'll be dammed if I was going to go in and ask. I finally googled it. You need to put the transmission in reverse... -Curt On Tuesday, February 13, 2024 at 12:03:54 AM EST, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote: I had some problem with my 75 Grand Prix, I think it was the ignition switch got tore up when some miscreant tried to steal it.

Those clear plastic fuse box lids are brilliant, and an example of lateral thinking about the simplest things. After the GM takeover, Saab engineers and management famously ignored senior management mandates to "dance with the girl what brung ya", makings thousands of changes to the common platform as well as the engine management systems. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
