So, I have come to find out that all of the parts I bought shown above ^ will not fit my 9-5. Apparently a 1999 9-3 and 2000 9-5 are completely different in terms of transmissions, linkages, clutches, etc (thank you GM...GM bought saab in 2000). Figured they would be the same so I took a gamble at the salvage yard and lost
I've bought most of the parts that will fit from online salvage yards so now i'm just waiting on them to come in. Going to pick up the trans and linkage tomorrow. So far I have collected:
Master to slave line: $62 (bought a braided stainless aftermarket one, OE was $110)
Flywheel: $40
Clutch/PP/Slave: $295 new
Trans/linkage: $265, has 97k miles on it
Clutch pedal: $45
Clutch master: $30
So far the parts total comes to $737. I still need to buy the manual trans mounts and the shifter/surrounding trim but I don't expect it to be too expensive. I'll post progress pics as parts arrive
